The hardest hit was Bitcoin (BTC) with outflows totaling $33 million last week. In comparison, short Bitcoin also saw minor outflows totaling $0.3 million.

However, altcoins received an influx of $21 million. The main beneficiaries were Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), XRP, and Chainlink (LINK) with a total of $10.6 million, $3 million, $2.7 million, and $2 million, respectively.

Ethereum (ETH) and Avalanche (AVA) took a slight hit, earning $4.4 million and $1 million respectively.

While blockchain stocks continued to see positive sentiment witnessing strong inflows of $122 million last week, bringing their growth to $294 million over the past 9 weeks, a new milestone.

Last week, analysts also reported that they recorded the largest inflow of funds in history into blockchain stocks – more than $126 million. The total investment amounted to $43 million.

Many anticipate a decline in prices as investors typically take profits after strong growth leading to a market correction.
