Analysts widely link the shift in capital direction to recent comments from Federal Reserve official and FOMC member John Williams. He reiterated that monetary policy remains restrictive, leading markets to renew bets on a possible rate cut this month and fueling greater appetite for risk assets.
Thanksgiving Holiday Dampens Trading Volume
Despite the slowdown in trading activity caused by the US Thanksgiving holiday, digital asset Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) recorded just $24 billion in trading volume this week—well below last week’s record $56 billion. Nevertheless, capital flows continued to indicate strong investor allocation. Many investors appeared to enter the market during the quieter period, reflecting optimism about an improving macroeconomic outlook.
Bitcoin Draws $461 Million in Net Inflows
Bitcoin emerged as one of the week’s top performers, attracting $461 million in net inflows. After several weeks of price pressure, investor sentiment has become markedly positive. This shift also triggered $1.9 million in outflows from short Bitcoin ETPs, indicating a notable decline in bearish positions.
XRP Sets All-Time Weekly Inflow Record
XRP stood out, posting $289 million in inflows last week—a new single-week high. Over the past six weeks, cumulative inflows have reached 29% of its assets under management (AUM). Market observers largely attribute this surge to positive sentiment following the recent launch of related US ETFs.

Summary
Overall, last week’s capital rebound reflects not just a short-term improvement in sentiment. It also shows that investors are reassessing monetary policy and crypto market cycles. If macroeconomic signals continue to favor easing in the weeks ahead, this influx may represent the start of a more sustained period of crypto asset allocations.
