Crypto investment products recorded the second consecutive week of outflows, according to crypto-focused asset manager CoinShares. Last week, they recorded the lowest trading volumes globally since the launch of US bitcoin ETFs in January.
“We have now seen $1.2 billion in outflows from crypto ETFs over the past two weeks, which began after the FOMC meeting. Our belief is that continued pessimism about the number of rate cuts is weighing on sentiment toward crypto,” James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, told CNBC.
“The Fed has indicated that it needs to see more evidence of falling inflation before becoming more dovish, so any macro statement that highlights inflation continuing to fall will likely support prices and, conversely, an inflationary date will weigh on prices,” he added. .
Eleanor Gaywood, head of strategy at Coincover, said there is often nervousness in the market ahead of the personal consumption expenditures index, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, due out this Friday. She said signs of a rate cut in September could calm investors’ nerves and stabilize the price of bitcoin.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has digitized 42 million car titles using blockchain, it was reported by Reuters, through technology company Oxhead Alpha on the Avalanche blockchain and designed to detect fraud and facilitate the securities transfer process.
“This is an incredible development for crypto,” Cuban, best known as an investor on TV’s Shark Tank and owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team, posted on X, joking that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler could sue the state as part of his hostility toward cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
“The reason this is huge for crypto is because people who hold the tokens will have an app with an Avalanche wallet,” Cuban said. “Tens of millions of Californians having and using a crypto wallet in the next five years, or however long it takes, normalizes the use of wallets and crypto.”
John Wu, president of Avalanche developer Ava Labs, told Reuters that California’s DMV is “creating a wallet that you can download on your phone.”
