In the past week, global crypto ETFs recorded net outflows for two consecutive weeks, with a cumulative outflow of $2.54 billion. Against the backdrop of adjustments in macro interest rate expectations, institutional risk appetite has contracted, but traditional financial assets such as stocks still maintain strong attractiveness.Data shows that the Gate TradFi Perp market exhibits significant asset rotation characteristics, with metals remaining the main trading sector, and daily trading volume once approaching $550 million to $600 million; meanwhile, the trading volume share of stock contracts continues to rise, indicating that the market's demand for allocation in U.S. stock-related assets is increasing. In the context of continued activity in AI tech stocks and U.S. stock indices nearing historical highs, TradFi Perp is gradually evolving from a single gold trading market to a dual-core structure of "gold + U.S. stocks."As institutional funds accelerate their allocation to stocks, ETFs, and other TradFi assets, Gate continues to promote the integration of TradFi assets and the construction of a multi-asset trading ecosystem, continuously strengthening its capability to provide institutional-level global asset allocation services, offering professional investors a more efficient one-stop cross-market trading solution.
