Institutional investors may have gotten the jitters on crypto in the wake of the regulatory crackdown in the United States, with digital asset investment products seeing the largest weekly outflow of 2023. 

On Feb. 20, institutional crypto fund manager CoinShares pranešė that digital asset investment products saw outflows totaling $32 million last week, the largest outflow of the year.

The outflow comes in the wake of a massive crackdown on the digital asset industry in the U.S., which has targeted everything from staking services to stablecoins į crypto custody as the Securities and Exchange Commission ramps up what industry analysts have dubbed its war on crypto.

Outflows hit $62 million midway through last week but slowed by the end of it as sentiment improved, added CoinShares analyst James Butterfill.

The majority of those outflows, or 78%, were from Bitcoin (BTC) related investment products and there was an inflow of $3.7 million to Bitcoin short funds. The firm blamed the regulatory crackdown for the increased outflows.

„Manome, kad taip yra dėl to, kad ETP investuotojai yra mažiau optimistiški dėl pastarojo meto reguliavimo spaudimo JAV, palyginti su platesne rinka.

However, negative sentiment from institutional investors was not mirrored by the broader markets, which saw a 10% gain for the period. This pushed total assets under management for institutional products to $30 million, the highest level since August, Butterfill said.

There were also outflows for Ethereum (ETH) and mixed-asset funds but blockchain equities bucked the trend with inflows totaling $9.6 million for the week.

Institutions started pouring capital back into crypto funds in January with inflows for the last week of the month totaling $117 million, reaching a six-month high.

However, funds have seen outflows for the past fortnight following four weeks of inflows in January.

The regulatory enforcement action responsible for the sentiment shift includes the SEC’s charges against Kraken for its staking services on Feb. 9. A few days later, it sued Paxos over the minting of Binance USD (BUSD), and it also last week proposed changes targeted at crypto firms operating as custodians.
