The digital asset market faced challenges this past week as regulatory risks overwhelmed investors, leading to a net outflow of approximately $952 million. Delays in the Clarity Act in the U.S. and ongoing global regulatory uncertainty fueled concerns, particularly around large holders ('whales') triggering major sell-offs. Ethereum and Bitcoin experienced significant outflows, while Solana and XRP saw inflows, highlighting a clear divergence in how different digital assets are assessed amid macroeconomic and regulatory pressures.

The digital asset market has recently experienced a tough week with regulatory risks overshadowing investors. According to CoinShares, digital asset-related investment products saw an estimated net outflow of $952 million over the past week.

The main reason stems from the slow progress of the Clarity Act in the US combined with long-term uncertainty regarding the global regulatory framework. Additionally, investors are concerned about “whales” potentially triggering large-scale sell-offs, increasing pressure on prices.

Among digital assets, Ethereum was the hardest hit with $555 million withdrawn from investment funds. Bitcoin also experienced a similar situation with a net outflow of $460 million. In stark contrast, Solana and XRP moved counter to the market trend, with $48.5 million and $62.9 million respectively flowing into digital assets.

This situation reflects a clear divergence in how the market evaluates different digital assets, as macroeconomic factors and regulations continue to exert pressure on industry giants.
