Liquidations of the cryptocurrency market reached more than $ 3.7 billion in a month

Institutional investors have sharply reduced their investments in cryptocurrency products: according to CoinShares, they sold $ 173 million worth of assets in just one week. In total, the outflow of funds amounted to $ 3.74 billion over the past month, which coincided with a drop in the price of Bitcoin from $ 95,400 to $ 62,800.

The largest losses were on Bitcoin BTC $70,439.47 Mezo Wrapped BTC 3.69% Market capitalization $39.41 million VOL. 24 hours $1.75 billion - $ 133 million of outflows, as well as on Ethereum ETH $2,165.80 Bridged Ether (StarkGate) 4.61% Market capitalization $40.82 million VOL. 24 hours $1.08 billion - $ 85.1 million. At the same time, some altcoins showed the opposite trend: XRP XRP $1.44 XRP 2.94% Market capitalization $88.4 billion VOL. 24 hours $0.2 billion received $ 33.4 million in inflows, Solana SOL $91.09 Binance-Peg SOL 4.34% Market capitalization $0.1 billion VOL. 24 hours $0.31 billion - $ 31 million, Chainlink LINK $9.14 Chainlink 3.98% Market capitalization $6.47 billion VOL. 24 hours $44.51 million - $ 1.1 million.

Regionally, the United States became the leader of outflows with $ 403 million, but this was partially compensated by other countries: Germany added $ 115 million, Canada — $ 46.3 million, Switzerland — $ 36.8 million.

Trading volumes of exchange-traded products fell sharply, from $ 63 billion to $ 27 billion over the week.

Despite the negative dynamics, CoinShares notes one positive signal: products that allow you to open short positions on Bitcoin also experienced an outflow of $ 15.4 million over the past two weeks. Such a trend is often observed near market «surrender days» and may indicate that a local bottom is approaching.
