While the US saw $388 million in regional outflows, CoinShares notes that inflows on the year remain at a record $13.6 billion.

Looking into the detail, the majority of the outflows were from the incumbent Grayscale, which saw $440 million outflows, which is the lowest for nine weeks.

While Grayscales outflows continue to decelerate, we have also seen a deceleration in inflows from new issuers, which saw only $126 million in inflows last week, compared to $254 million the week prior.

While Germany and Canada also saw regional outflows, Switzerland and Brazil saw inflows of $4 million and $5 million, respectively.

Leading crypto assets by market cap Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) suffered outflows of $423 million and $38 million a piece. Meanwhile, multi-asset investment vehicles, Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC) and Chainlink (LINK) enjoyed $7 million, $4 million, $3 million and $2.8 million respectively.
