Since 2022, the crypto market has witnessed some of the largest capital outflows in its history. Triggered by macroeconomic tightening, rising interest rates from the Federal Reserve, and major industry collapses like FTX, billions of dollars exited digital assets in waves of uncertainty.
Institutional investors pulled funds from Bitcoin and Ethereum products, while retail sentiment weakened amid volatility. Data from firms such as CoinShares showed record weekly outflows during peak fear periods. Stablecoins also saw significant redemptions as liquidity tightened across exchanges.
Yet, history shows that extreme outflows often mark late-stage capitulation. Following previous downturns, the market has demonstrated resilience, driven by innovation in DeFi, Layer 2 scaling, and renewed institutional interest.
Are we witnessing another reset before the next cycle, or a structural shift in crypto capital flows?
