At a time when institutional investors are bearish on Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/altcoins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">altcoins</a> such as Solana (SOL) and XRP are seen as better alternatives. CoinShares claims further outflows from digital assets funds globally indicate a “true correction” is underway. Digital asset investment products have recorded $1.2 billion in outflows in two weeks. 
<h2 id="crypto-assets-saw-second-consecutive-week-of-selloff">Crypto Assets Saw Second Consecutive Week Of Selloff</h2> 
The $1.2 billion outflow from digital asset investment globally reflects pessimism amongst institutional investors for interest rate cuts by the US FED this year. Digital asset investment products recorded $584 million outflow in a week, according to a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://blog.coinshares.com/volume-188-digital-asset-fund-flows-weekly-report-2582269d7257" target="_blank">CoinShares</a> report on June 24.

James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, said “Bitcoin was the primary focus, seeing US$630m in outflows, but recent negative sentiment has not seen investors add to short positions. Multi-asset products saw US$98m inflows, suggest investors seen the weakness in the altcoin market as a buying opportunity.” 
The selloff mostly came from investors in the United States and Canada, accounting for $475 million and $109 million, respectively. They are followed by Germany, <a href="https://coingape.com/tag/hong-kong" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hong Kong</a>, and Sweden. Interestingly, Switzerland and Brazil defied the selloff and saw inflows of $39 million and $48.5 million, respectively.
