Volume 113: Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report

Minor negative sentiment persists with outflows of US$10m

  • Digital asset investment products saw outflows totalling US$9.7m, highlighting continued mild negative sentiment that has persisted for the last 3 weeks.
  • Bitcoin saw minor outflows, totalling US$6.5m, for the 3rd week in a row implying sentiment at the beginning of 2023 remains negative. Over the same period short-bitcoin investment products saw minor inflows of US$1.2m.
  • XRP bucked the trend with inflows totalling US$3m representing 9% of total AuM. We believe due to the improving clarity on its legal case with the SEC.

Bitcoin saw minor outflows, totalling US$6.5m, for the 3rd week in a row implying sentiment at the beginning of 2023 remains negative. Over the same period short-bitcoin investment products saw minor inflows of US$1.2m.

Ethereum continued with its negative streak, seeing minor outflows of US$3m, marking its 8th consecutive week of outflows.

  • Trump: Data Centers May Be More Important Than Oil

    August 7 news, U.S. President Trump said in an interview with Punchbowl News, "I saw the other day that Texas seems to be opposed to building data centers. I think that's a mistake. I'm not taking a position—I just think it's a mistake, because there are other communities that want to build data centers. When a community is willing to accept data centers, it means a lot of money will flow into that community. I don't think they're ugly. Some of the data centers I've seen are the most incredible buildings I've ever seen. They are very important to the economy. If Texas says no to data centers, that's a mistake, because data centers may be more important than oil."

  • Trump to Meet with Mining Executives

    On August 7, according to CCTV International News, US President Trump will convene executives from some of the world's largest mining companies at the US State Department on August 7 local time, in an effort to take action to 'secure critical mineral supplies for the US and its allies.' Reuters reported that the US urgently needs critical minerals to replenish weapons inventories depleted during the war against Iran. During the more than five-month war with Iran, the US military expended large quantities of precision-guided missiles and air defense interceptors. US defense officials and lawmakers have warned that given existing production capacity constraints, replenishing some stockpiles could take years—although the Trump administration has denied reports of a so-called 'severe shortage of ammunition stockpiles.' According to Pentagon officials and defense companies, supplies of minerals such as rare earths, tungsten, germanium, and scandium are essential for manufacturing precision-guided missiles, fighter jets, armored vehicles, infrared sensors, and other advanced weapons systems. Expected attendees include industry giants such as global mining giant Rio Tinto Group, Australia's BHP, US Freeport-McMoRan, US Mountain Pass Materials, US Rare Earths, US Energy Fuels, and Canada's Metals Company. According to sources, the Trump administration plans to announce multiple deals and memorandums of understanding.
