Markets Performance - Hawkish Policy Drives $100M Out Of US Crypto Funds

According to CoinShares' latest Digital Asset Fund Flows report, institutional investors offloaded $101.5 million worth of digital assets last week in anticipation of hawkish monetary policy from the Federal Reserve.

“What has pushed Bitcoin into a “crypto winter” over the last six months can by and large be explained as a direct result of an increasingly hawkish rhetoric from the US Federal Reserve.”

The data shows that US investors accounted for outflows totaling $98 million between June 6 and June 10, while Europe accounted for only $2 million. Most of these outflows came from products oriented to BTC and ETH, with ETH in comparison showing notably more outflows to inflows YTD.

This implies that Bitcoin still remains the preferred asset over other assets among institutional investors. However, institutional investors apparently managed to sell off their BTC and ETH holdings before most of the recent price bloodshed happened to both assets.

Today's Headline - NFT Prices Tumble Alongside Broader Crypto Market Crash

While the crypto market saw a 14% drop in overall value over the past 24 hours, NFT collections seem to have joined the party as floor prices of many collections took a nosedive, due in part to the falling ETH price in recent days.

Blue-chip NFT project Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) has seen its floor price drop from 152 ETH (roughly worth $429,000 at the time) on April 29th to 74.5 ETH (currently worth around $100,000) today.

Astonishingly, NFT trading volume has increased dramatically in the last 24 hours, up 54% from the previous period. This may be implying that collectors are taking advantage of decreased prices.

Technical Chart of the Day - Bitcoin Oversold, Approaching 200MA on Weekly Timeframe

Will we see a short recovery to the upside before a breakout to the downside, or is this the dip?

Influencer of the Day - Michael Saylor hasn’t wavered in his Bitcoin bullishness

As Bitcoin fell over 13% in a single day, Saylor added “laser eyes” to his Twitter profile picture, a symbol that started in online Bitcoin communities but has since been used by high-profile figures like El Salvador’s president and U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis to show their unwavering support for Bitcoin.

"When MicroStrategy adopted a Bitcoin Strategy, it anticipated volatility and structured its balance sheet so that it could continue to HODL through adversity," he declared to Twitter followers.
