Fed Hawkish Tone Triggers $405M Crypto Outflows

Fed Hawkish Tone Triggers $405M Crypto Outflows

Digital asset investment products saw weekly inflows of $230 million — a sharp deceleration from recent weeks — as the U.S. Federal Reserve's latest policy meeting triggered $405 million in post-FOMC outflows.

Fed Meeting Fallout

The data, published in CoinShares' weekly report, showed that inflows were concentrated in the first two trading days of the week, totaling $635 million. That momentum reversed after the FOMC meeting on Wednesday, which markets interpreted as a "hawkish pause."

By Friday, outflows had begun to moderate. CoinShares noted that while some attributed the pullback to the prolonged Iran conflict weighing on risk appetite, the intra-week pattern pointed more directly to the Fed's tone as the catalyst.

All regional exchanges posted net positive flows for the week. The U.S. led with $153 million in inflows, followed by Germany at $30.2 million and Switzerland at $27.5 million.

Bitcoin (BTC) accounted for the bulk of inflows at $219 million. Short-Bitcoin products also drew $6 million, underscoring divided positioning among institutional investors.

Solana Streak Continues

Solana (SOL) recorded $17 million in inflows, extending its streak to seven consecutive weeks and bringing cumulative inflows over that period to $136 million. The run has made it one of the most consistently favored assets among fund investors recently.

Ethereum (ETH) moved in the opposite direction, posting $27.5 million in outflows that snapped a three-week inflow streak. Among smaller assets, Chainlink (LINK) drew $4.6 million and Hyperliquid (HYPE) added $4.5 million.
