Liquidity shifts, Federal Reserve expectation adjustments trigger weekly net outflows in digital assets—Bitcoin and Ethereum come under pressure, while new tokens profit against the trend

【ChainNews】Latest data shows that digital asset investment products experienced a wave of net outflows last week—$454 million withdrew in a single week, and over the past four days, a total of $1.3 billion has been drained, almost wiping out the $1.5 billion net inflow at the beginning of the year. The main driving force behind this is quite clear: market expectations for a Fed rate cut in March are weakening.

Regionally, the U.S. market leads the outflows, with a net outflow of $569 million. In contrast, Europe and other developed countries saw slight inflows—Germany with $58.9 million, Canada with $24.5 million, and Switzerland with $21 million.

At the coin level, the divergence is obvious. Bitcoin and Ethereum, as market leaders, faced outflows of $405 million and $116 million respectively. However, emerging tokens like Solana, XRP, and Sui attracted capital against the trend—Solana with $32.8 million, XRP with $45.8 million, and Sui, though smaller in size, also attracted $7.6 million. This divergence reflects investors’ differentiated choices as they adjust their strategies.
