In a milestone for the cryptocurrency market, spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs were approved and made available to investors.

While these ETFs are expected to add vitality to the market, Citi stated in its latest report that the cryptocurrency market has struggled due to weak demand and ETF outflows since the launch of spot Ethereum ETFs.

According to Coindesk, Citi analysts said that spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have experienced net outflows in the past month.

Citi analysts said that other risky assets have also performed poorly since spot ETH ETFs, but cryptocurrencies have been affected more, writing:

“Crypto demand has decreased in recent weeks, as spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum ETFs have experienced net outflows in the past month.

These outflows also coincide with relatively weak crypto interest and weak network activity.”

Analysts said that until the market gains more transparency about the consequences of a soft landing or a hard landing in the U.S. economy, ETF flows could continue to disappoint.

The U.S. Secretary of Transportation is pressuring to cut off cooperation with Chinese companies such as CATL. Ford criticized Secretary Buttigieg for "overstepping" and being "factually incorrect," citing positive statements from the White House and the Department of Commerce as evidence that Buttigieg does not represent the official government position. The core conflict lies in the fact that U.S. carmakers' transition to electrification is highly dependent on Chinese battery technology. Severing cooperation would force them back into the shrinking fuel vehicle market, putting the policy goals of manufacturing reshoring and electrification upgrades in a dilemma.
