Global digital asset ETPs saw a net inflow of $ 308 million last week. This inflow came after the Fed’s interest rate cut on 18 December, followed by outflows during the week. This shows that the market has overcome the volatility. According to the CoinShares report, Bitcoin leads the way with inflows of $375 million. However, Solana (SOL Coin) faced an outflow of $ 8.7 million.
Cryptocurrency asset funds saw net inflows!
Global digital asset exchange traded products (ETPs) witnessed outflows during the week following the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut on 18 December. However, despite increased market volatility, it recorded a net inflow of $ 308 million last week. CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill said that despite the overall net inflows for digital asset ETPs last week, significant market volatility towards the end of last week should not go unnoticed. In this context, he shared the following assessment:
Net inflows mask the largest single-day outflows on 19 December, totalling $ 576 million, and total outflows in the last two days of last week reached $ 1 billion.

While SOL Coin saw outflows, these cryptocurrencies saw inflows!
Bitcoin recorded a net inflow of $375 million during the week. Leading altcoin Ethereum added $51 million. In contrast, Solana (SOL Coin) saw an outflow of $8.7 million, according to CoinShares data. In addition, Litecoin (LTC), Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK) also recorded inflows. Net inflows emphasise the continued institutional interest in digital assets despite changing macroeconomic conditions. However, Butterfill said that multi-asset investment products saw more pronounced outflows, totalling $121 million. Butterfill made the following statement:
While many altcoins continue to see inflows, such as XRP, $8.8 million, Horizen, $4.8 million and Polkadot, $1.9 million, these trends suggest that investors are taking a more selective approach in the digital asset market.

Market reaction to the December FOMC meeting
According to Butterfill, the press conference held by the Fed after its meeting on 18 December affected market dynamics. As you follow on Kriptokoin.com, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s post-meeting comments triggered risk-off sentiment in the markets. Among the key factors was the Fed’s revision of 2025 core PCE inflation forecasts from 2.2% to 2.5%. In addition, the Fed signalled only two rate cuts in 2025 instead of the four rate cuts previously projected.
According to Wintermute’s OTC trading desk analysts, the market decline, which started in the middle of last week, reflected declines in equities and bonds as investors adjusted their risk exposures ahead of the low-liquidity holiday season. Wintermute analysts noted that derivatives traders maintained their positions in the form of put options. This shows that they are betting that the price of tokens will fall.
