Crypto market flows showed renewed 'outflow pressure' in major assets on Sunday, while a handful of mid- and lower-cap tokens attracted selective buying—an uneven positioning pattern that often signals cautious risk appetite rather than a broad rebound.

As of 12:00 p.m. in South Korea on July 20 (03:00 a.m. UTC), data compiled by CryptoMeter indicated that Bitcoin (BTC) posted roughly $1.0 billion in inflows and $1.0 billion in outflows, leaving a net outflow of about $21.5 million. Ethereum (ETH) recorded $482.4 million in inflows versus $488.8 million in outflows, translating to a net outflow of around $6.3 million.

Stablecoin activity was mixed. Tether (USDT) saw $63.0 million of inflows and $61.7 million of outflows for a modest net inflow of approximately $1.3 million, suggesting near-neutral 'liquidity parking' behavior. In contrast, USD Coin (USDC) registered $367.2 million in inflows against $411.7 million in outflows, producing a comparatively large net outflow of about $44.5 million—one of the most notable figures in the day’s flow table.

Outside the majors, a few tokens stood out for net inflows. BankrCoin (BANK) led the second tier with a net inflow of $10.2 million, while OPN (OPN) followed with $6.1 million in net inflows. Ripple (XRP), meanwhile, faced net outflows of about $7.5 million, placing it among the day’s more pressured large-cap names.

By asset ranking, the top five net inflows were: Liquid Staked ETH (LSETH) at $14.5 million, BankrCoin (BANK) at $10.2 million, OPN (OPN) at $6.1 million, Ripple USD (RLUSD) at $4.1 million, and the euro-denominated stablecoin EUR (EUR) at $3.5 million.

The top five net outflows were led by USD Coin (USDC) at $44.5 million, followed by Bitcoin (BTC) at $21.5 million, First Digital USD (FDUSD) at $9.0 million, Ripple (XRP) at $7.5 million, and Ethereum (ETH) at $6.3 million.

Market participants typically read flow data as a short-horizon barometer of positioning and exchange-related liquidity rather than a definitive signal of trend. Still, Sunday’s profile—steady-to-negative net flows for BTC and ETH alongside a sharp USDC drawdown and pockets of inflow in select tokens—points to 'selective risk-taking' and ongoing sensitivity to liquidity conditions across both major crypto assets and stablecoin rails.
