Analysts attribute the negative trend to the March 18 meeting of the Fed<\/span>, during which the regulator maintained<\/a> the key rate in the range of 3.5-3.75%. Investors viewed the decision as a “hawkish pause.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

This conclusion is supported by data: in the first two days, funds attracted $635 million, but after the FOMC<\/span> meeting, they lost $405 million. By Friday, the outflow had slowed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Market players also remain cautious due to ongoing military actions in the Middle East.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fed Chair Jerome Powell confirmed that the consequences of events in Iran<\/a> for the U.S. economy remain uncertain. The oil rally due to supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz could lead to rising inflation, negatively affecting risk assets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“But it is still too early to speak about the scale and duration of the potential impact on the economy,” added Powell.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

All regional exchanges ended the past week with a net capital inflow. CoinShares described the results as “encouraging.” The U.S. led with $153 million, followed by Germany ($30.2 million) and Switzerland ($27.5 million).<\/p>\n

Among assets, the majority of inflows went to Bitcoin \u2014 $219 million. Structures allowing for shorting cryptocurrency attracted $6 million. According to experts, this indicates a “persistent divergence of opinions regarding the prospects” of digital gold.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Solana funds received $17 million, marking the seventh consecutive week of positive dynamics. During this period, the total amount raised reached $136 million.<\/p>\n

“Recently, the asset has been among the most in demand,” commented CoinShares.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ethereum-based products lost $27.5 million, ending a three-week session of capital inflow.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier, from March 9 to 13, inflows into cryptocurrency-focused investment products amounted to<\/a> $1.06 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
