Bitcoin (BTC) investment products saw a third straight week of outflows totaling $15 million. The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization plunged 10% on Aug. 19 after the U.S. Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes hinted at further interest rate hikes.

Ether (ETH) funds saw inflows totaling $2.9 million. Investor optimism strengthened as the network’s switch from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake, dubbed the Merge, draws closer.

Other altcoin funds saw mixed movement with outflows totaling $1.4 million for SOL and inflows totaled $500,000 for ADA and $300,000 for XRP.
