Hong Kong’s Spot ETF Launches Offset Crypto Fund Outflows from US

Hong Kong’s Spot ETF Launches Offset Crypto Fund Outflows from US

In the realm of digital assets, the trend of investment outflows persisted for the fourth consecutive week, with a total outflow of $251 million.

Data from CoinShares reveals that the week spanning from April 27 to May 3 marked the first instance of notable outflows from newly issued U.S. ETFs. The average purchase price of Bitcoin (BTC) underlying ETF assets since their launch stands at $62,200 per BTC, potentially prompting sell orders amidst recent price fluctuations.

The United States witnessed capital outflows totaling $504 million, with withdrawals also observed in Canada, Switzerland, and Germany, totaling $9.6 million, $9.8 million, and $7.3 million, respectively.

Bitcoin notably experienced the largest outflows among cryptocurrencies, totaling $284 million, while Ethereum broke its seven-week spell of outflows, attracting $30 million in inflows.

The inflow trend extended to various altcoins, with Avalanche, Cardano, and Polkadot seeing significant inflows of $500,000, $400,000, and $300,000, respectively.

The overall outflows might have been more pronounced if not for the $307 million in proceeds from exchange-traded products launched in Hong Kong on April 30th.

However, cryptocurrency ETFs in Hong Kong still lag behind their American counterparts, receiving only about $22 million in investments to date, with daily trading volume not surpassing $10 million, according to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas.

On May 6th, Hong Kong’s exchange-traded funds recorded the first cumulative outflow of funds, with SoSo Value data showing negative dynamics primarily in asset manager ChinaAMC and its Bitcoin ETF, totaling $4.9 million. The total outflow for the first trading day of the week amounted to $1.7 million.
