Crypto Inflows Plummet in 2026 as Macro Headwinds Dampen Market Sentiment

The reversal follows evaporating spot market liquidity, with even ETF flows proving inconsistent despite brief rallies.

"What began as tactical profit-taking now resembles structural capital flight," observes a JPMorgan analyst reviewing CME futures and treasury purchase data.
