A dramatic slowdown in Bitcoin fund outflows, coupled with the first positive flows into altcoin investment products in three weeks, is sparking debate over whether the crypto market has found a tentative bottom. According to the latest CoinShares Digital Assets Funds Flows report, weekly outflows from Bitcoin funds plunged from $1.7 billion to $264.4 million, while altcoins like XRP, Ethereum, and Solana attracted fresh capital. This deceleration coincides with a price rebound from last week’s steep selloff, but analysts remain sharply divided on whether this marks a true inflection point or merely a pause in a broader downturn.
