ETF Securities Weekly Flows Analysis - Precious metals outflows continue ahead of this week’s Fed meeting Strong inflows into Equity ETP products

ETF Securities Weekly Flows Analysis – Precious metals outflows continue ahead of this week’s Fed meeting

  • Second consecutive week of gold selling ahead of March Fed meeting
  • Strong inflows into Equity ETP products
  • Opportunistic inflows into Crude Oil as WTI prices fall below US$50
  • Strong cyclical data continue to support inflows into Industrial Metals
  • Outflows from Euro and GBP ahead of Dutch Elections and Article 50 vote

Precious Metals outflows continue ahead of this week’s Fed meeting. For a second straight week Gold (-US$71mn) and Platinum (- US$9mn) saw outflows as expectations for a March rate hike from the Federal Reserve continued to build. Strong employment data (ADP, jobless claims) sent gold prices to below US$1,200/oz, its lowest level since the start of February. The market will be watching any potential changes to the Fed’s dot-plot (rate forecasts) this week for signals of how many rate hikes to expect this year.

Small inflows to Crude Oil despite the fall in prices last week. WTI suffered its sharpest one-day sell-off for 13 months last Wednesday, falling below US$50/bbl on the back of US inventories rising for a ninth straight week to a new high this year. We saw opportunistic inflows into our Crude Oil ETP of US$10mn on the drop in prices. Despite OPEC’s efforts to cut production, US oil production continues to recover and pressure oil prices to the downside.

Strong inflows into Equity ETPs. Last week saw continued inflows into our tech thematic ETPs: Robotics (US$32mn) and Cyber Security (US$10mn). The tech sector continues to be one of the best performing sectors globally as investors rotate away from pure value sectors such as commodities into sectors with characteristics of both value and growth such as Tech. We continue to see further structural supports for both Robotics and Cyber Security over the medium-term.

Fourth straight week of inflows into industrial metals. Strong manufacturing data around the world continued to support inflows into industrial metals last week: Aluminium (US$2mn) and Nickel (US$3mn).

Outflows from the EUR and GBP. The GBP saw outflows (-US$5mn) as the government suffered setbacks to its proposal to exit the EU as well as softer UK consumer data. We also saw outflows from the EUR (-US$8mn) ahead of the Dutch elections this week. The polls still indicate a low likelihood of Geert Wilders being able to form a coalition if his party wins.

Crypto’s big week in Washington: Preparing for a crypto-friendly US

Publicerad

den

Last week was monumental for Bitcoin and the broader crypto ecosystem, ushering in key regulatory and legislative developments in the US. These changes not only underscore a shifting attitude toward digital assets in the US but also lay the groundwork for greater clarity and legitimacy for crypto globally in the years to come. Following are the five reasons we think last week was such a defining moment for crypto assets and why we think the current environment is setting this asset class up for a remarkable 2025.

Last week was monumental for Bitcoin and the broader crypto ecosystem, ushering in key regulatory and legislative developments in the US. These changes not only underscore a shifting attitude toward digital assets in the US but also lay the groundwork for greater clarity and legitimacy for crypto globally in the years to come. Following are the five reasons we think last week was such a defining moment for crypto assets and why we think the current environment is setting this asset class up for a remarkable 2025.

  1. A paradigm shift at the SEC
  2. One of the most significant signals of change came from US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Acting Chair Mark Uyeda, who announced the establishment of a Crypto Task Force led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, affectionately known as ”Crypto Mom” for her engagement in the digital asset space while at the SEC. The task force, along with the favorable views on digital assets from incoming chair Paul Atkins, reflects an important step toward ending the contentious practice of ”regulation by enforcement,” which has long stymied innovation for crypto entrepreneurs and limited opportunity for US investors.
  3. The SEC’s subsequent decision to rescind Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 121, which imposed restrictive accounting guidelines on banks wishing to custody crypto, further underscores the regulatory shift. Its repeal not only provides operational relief but also signals a more pragmatic approach to crypto oversight.
  4. These regulatory moves reflect a broader recognition by US authorities of the need for a framework that fosters innovation while ensuring investor protection. They set the stage for a future where digital assets are more seamlessly integrated into the financial system.
  5. New congressional leadership

Another pivotal development was the appointment of Senator Cynthia Lummis as chair of the newly created Subcommittee on Digital Assets. Lummis, a long-time advocate for Bitcoin and blockchain technology, is uniquely positioned to champion legislation that promotes innovation while addressing key concerns around market integrity and consumer protection.

Her leadership comes at a critical time, as Congress considers landmark legislation such as the Stablecoin Act and the Bitcoin Act. The Stablecoin Act, which could see approval this year, aims to establish clear guidelines for stablecoin issuance and use. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin Act proposes an audacious goal: for the US government to accumulate 5% of bitcoin’s total supply. There are obstacles to this proposal, some of which I noted in August last year, but if enacted, this legislation could significantly impact Bitcoin’s global adoption and price trajectory.

  1. A game-changing executive order

The White House also contributed to the week’s momentum with a new executive order aimed at shaping the future of digital assets in the US. A key aspect of this order is its rejection of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in favor of fostering stablecoin development. President Trump has been vocal about his preference for implementing a ”digital dollar” on top of open blockchain networks, a move that aligns with crypto’s decentralized ethos.

This executive order also signals the end of ”Operation Chokepoint,” an informal campaign that had effectively debanked parts of the crypto industry. By reaffirming the importance of open networks and stablecoins, the administration is providing a clear direction for the role digital assets could play in the US financial system.

Perhaps the most intriguing development is the proposal to establish a government stockpile of digital assets. While the term “stockpile” has been carefully chosen over “reserve” to avoid direct comparisons with traditional currency reserves, the implications are nonetheless profound. The working group tasked with studying this proposal has expanded its scope beyond bitcoin to include crypto assets more broadly.

While it’s too early to predict how or whether the stockpile will be established, the study represents a thoughtful approach to a high-stakes decision. It could mark the beginning of a global trend, with other nations potentially racing to stockpile crypto assets as part of their sovereign holdings, which we’ve already seen this week with the Czech central bank.

  1. Steps toward a comprehensive regulatory framework

The week’s developments also highlight the ongoing evolution of regulatory characterization. US regulators are moving toward a more nuanced understanding of digital assets, which is essential for crafting effective policies. This trend was echoed in the revocation of SAB 121 and the growing momentum behind legislation like the Stablecoin Act. Additionally, the broader regulatory framework for market structure in digital assets, which could happen this year or next, will likely address issues ranging from trading practices to asset classification. These steps indicate a deliberate effort to integrate crypto into the financial system with precision and clarity.

  1. The start of a geopolitical race to embrace crypto

These developments, particularly the possibility of a US crypto stockpile, also raises the stakes on the global stage. Sovereign states accumulating crypto assets could lead to a new form of economic competition, where digital assets play a central role in national strategy.

The US government’s interest in studying this proposal reflects an understanding of crypto’s growing significance in global finance. It also aligns with the nation’s broader goals of maintaining technological and economic leadership.

What’s next?

The developments of the past week are part of a broader trend of increasing institutional and governmental recognition of crypto’s potential. However, several key milestones remain on the horizon:

Stablecoin Act Approval: This legislation, which could happen before the fourth quarter this year, will provide much-needed clarity for stablecoin issuers and users.

• Market Structure Framework: Expected by 2026, this framework will define the rules of engagement for trading and investing in digital assets.

• Bitcoin Act Progress: If the US government begins accumulating bitcoin, it could have profound implications for the asset’s supply dynamics and global adoption.

• Stockpile Study Results: The findings of the crypto stockpile working group could shape the long-term digital asset strategy in the US.

As these milestones approach, bitcoin and other crypto assets are likely to experience heightened volatility, but also greater legitimacy. Investors, policymakers, and innovators will continue to pay attention to these developments, as they could define the future of the global economy. While challenges remain, the direction is clear: crypto is moving from the fringes of finance to center stage. As these changes unfold, the crypto ecosystem is poised to evolve into a more robust and integral part of the global economy, presenting investors with attractive opportunities to get broad exposure to this emerging asset class.
