The week of May 1-7 also marked the third consecutive week of outflows for the crypto investment products market.
The market&#8217;s last outflows streak started in February and lasted <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/crypto-investment-products-record-160m-inflows-breaking-six-week-negative-strike/">six weeks</a> straight. The aggregate value lost during this period reached $408 million, with the <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/fifth-week-of-losses-in-crypto-investment-products-sees-255m-withdrawals/">largest</a> recorded during the week of Mar. 6 &#8211; 12 with $225 million.

This is particularly unusual for short-BTC products. Even when the market was on its six-week-outflows streak, short-BTC products recorded inflows almost every week. Acknowledging this irregularity, the CoinShares report stated that this was the &#8220;largest weekly outflows from short-bitcoin on record of US$23m.&#8221;
Other than BTC, Ethereum (<a href="https://cryptoslate.com/coins/ethereum/">ETH</a>) also closed the week on the negative by recording $2.3 million in withdrawals. In return, multi-asset and Solana (<a href="https://cryptoslate.com/coins/solana/">SOL</a>)-based products saw inflows worth $100,000 and $3.4 million, respectively, bringing the overall market score to -$53.7 million.
