US Crypto Outflows Surge as Clarity Act Delays and Fed Moves Stir Market

US crypto funds saw $952M in outflows amid Clarity Act delays, with Ethereum and Bitcoin hit hardest. Solana and XRP attracted inflows. The Fed's $6.8B liquidity move may further impact crypto dynamics.

Crypto investment products saw significant outflows in the final full trading week of the year, with U.S.-focused funds recording $952 million in withdrawals after delays in the Clarity Act heightened regulatory uncertainty. This marked the first notable outflow in nearly a month, reversing a four-week streak of inflows. The majority of outflows were concentrated in the U.S., while Canada and Germany saw modest inflows. Ethereum experienced the largest outflows at $555 million, followed by Bitcoin with $460 million. Despite this, Ethereum has attracted $12.7 billion in inflows year-to-date. In contrast, Solana and XRP bucked the trend, attracting $48.5 million and $62.9 million in inflows, respectively. The delay of the Clarity Act is expected to keep U.S. crypto products under pressure. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve plans to inject $6.8 billion into the financial system on December 22, 2025, a move that could influence crypto market dynamics by affecting liquidity and investor sentiment.
