At the end of August 2025, the crypto market experienced a significant capital outflow: investors withdrew $1.43 billion from digital assets, marking the largest weekly outflow since March. According to CoinShares, this occurred amid growing uncertainty regarding the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy. Trading activity in exchange-traded products (ETP) rose to $38 billion, exceeding the average for 2025 by 50%, reflecting active repositioning by institutional players.

The main hit was on Bitcoin: $1 billion was withdrawn from BTC products, highlighting investor caution ahead of a potential continuation of tight monetary policy. In August, the net outflow from $BTC reached $1 billion, while $ETH showed resilience with an outflow of only $440 million for the week. Over the month, ETH attracted $2.5 billion in inflows, accounting for 26% of annual figures, compared to 11% for BTC. This indicates a capital redistribution in favor of ETH due to its fundamental advantages and staking potential.

Among altcoins, the picture is mixed: $XRP attracted $25 million, Solana — $12 million, Cronos — $4.4 million, demonstrating confidence in projects with strong ecosystems. However, Sui lost $12.9 million, and TON — $1.5 million, reflecting an outflow from speculative assets. Early pessimistic sentiments caused an outflow of $2 billion at the beginning of the week, but Jerome Powell's speech at the symposium in Jackson Hole, perceived as more dovish, led to an inflow of $594 million by the end.

Experts note that the cryptocurrency market remains sensitive to macroeconomic signals from the Fed. Expectations of rate cuts could stimulate a recovery, but current volatility underscores the risks. Global AUM capital in crypto-ETP exceeds $100 billion, and the outflow signals a temporary correction rather than a long-term decline. Investors are refocusing on assets with strong fundamentals, awaiting stabilization of Fed policy.

This situation illustrates the maturity of the market: capital is not leaving entirely, but is being redistributed. For long-term players, this is a window for buying on dips, but with consideration of regulatory risks.
