Ethereum’s fourth consecutive week of outflows came despite other top altcoins recording positive inflows. According to the report, Litecoin registered $4.4 million worth of weekly inflows, followed by Solana with $4 million and Filecoin with $1.4 million.
The Ether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price">ETH</a>) price rose 6.8% in the 24 hours leading up to 11:45 am UTC to change hands at $3,625. The world’s second-largest cryptocurrency is up 2.3% on the week but down 8.2% over the past month, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">according</a> to CoinMarketCap data.

Solana is often touted as one of the most promising “Ethereum killers” due to its scalability and high transaction throughput. Its native token has also been outperforming Ether. Solana’s (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/solana-price-index">SOL</a>) token rose 24% during the past month, while Ether fell over 6.2%, according to <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/chart/3Z94myyP/?symbol=BITSTAMP%3AETHUSD" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">TradingView</a> data.

Despite $646 million worth of weekly inflows into digital asset investment products, investor appetite for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) may be on the decline, according to CoinShares.
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “Despite this, there are signs that appetite from ETF investors is moderating, not achieving the weekly flow levels seen in early March, while volumes last week declined to US$17.4bn for the week compared to US$43bn in the first week of March.”

Since spot Bitcoin ETFs were approved in January, they have massed over 834,000 Bitcoin worth $60.4 billion in total on-chain holdings.

Short Bitcoin investment products saw outflows for the third consecutive week, totaling $9.5 million, suggesting “minor capitulation among bearish investors,” according to CoinShares.
