In the last seven days, net withdrawals exceeded $141 million. Purpose ETFs witnessed whopping $150 million outflows while the majority of other funds remained almost untouched.

This is the second largest weekly outflow in the turbulent year of 2022. The net equivalent of money locked in crypto-based funds dropped to $38 billion, which is the lowest point since July 2021.

At the same time, some instruments of this segment closed last week with positive results: multi-crypto products added $9.7 million to their balances.

Crypto Fear and Greed index plummeting again

Among single-asset altcoin-centric products, Cardano (ADA) and Polkadot (DOT) based funds are leaders: they managed to attract $1 million each. Funds on SOL, LTC and XRP also increased their AUM.

Meanwhile, despite Bitcoin (BTC) changing hands at $30,500, or almost 2.5% up in 24 hours, its "Fear and Greed" index by Alternative.me returned to 10/100.

This level means "Extreme Fear"; prior to the drop, it was surging for five days in a row.
