El Banco de Reserva de la India (RBI) activa nuevas medidas para contener la volatilidad de la rupia. El umbral para operar derivados de divisas sin exposición subyacente se recorta de 100 millones a 5 millones de dólares. Se suma una provisión por riesgo cambiario que obliga a los bancos a depositar en efectivo el 20% del importe nominal de los contratos de derivados vinculados a la rupia que superen los 2 millones de dólares. El encarecimiento de la cobertura golpeará a los importadores; a corto plazo, estas exigencias pueden aliviar la presión de depreciación de la rupia y moderar el tipo de cambio USD/INR y las primas a plazo.

US-listed XRP ETFs took in $11.31 million in the week ended Oct. 9, a 13th consecutive week of inflows, while Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana funds shed a combined $1.25 billion. SoSoValue data showed $681.1 million in net redemptions from Bitcoin funds, $542.07 million from Ethereum funds and $24.81 million from Solana funds. Netting out the XRP gains, the four groups recorded about $1.24 billion in outflows. Bitcoin funds reversed after three positive weeks and $241.09 million of inflows a week earlier, a $922.19 million swing in investor demand. Redemptions ran to $487.07 million on Wednesday and $244.13 million on Thursday. Friday brought $21.13 million of inflows, not enough to avoid the first negative week since the period ended Sept. 11. CryptoQuant netflow data also showed withdrawals for the week. Ecoinometrics pegged rolling 30-day ETF inflows at roughly 30,000 to 40,000 BTC in an Oct. 9 chart and described demand as slowing; that 30-day measure still carries earlier purchases, while the weekly tally captures the latest turn. Bitcoin ETF net assets fell to $105.84 billion from $108.89 billion, a figure shaped by both fund flows and the market price of bitcoin. Ethereum funds logged their largest weekly outflow since January. The $542.07 million total was nearly four times the $138.02 million recorded a week earlier, with withdrawals in all five sessions. Redemptions of $201.89 million on Tuesday and $160.77 million on Wednesday made up about 67% of the weekly total. Bitcoin funds recovered modestly by Friday; Ethereum products did not post a single positive session. Cumulative net inflows since launch dropped to $13.26 billion from $13.80 billion, and net assets slid to $15.71 billion from $17.46 billion, a decline steeper than redemptions alone and one that also reflected the move in ether. Solana ETFs ended a 14-week inflow run with their first negative week since June, recording withdrawals in every trading session. The largest daily loss came Monday at $9.25 million, followed by $4.80 million on Wednesday. The weekly figure was smaller than those of the Bitcoin and Ethereum funds but broke a long stretch of subscriptions. Cumulative inflows slipped to $1.58 billion and net assets closed at $1.73 billion. XRP weekly inflows of $11.31 million more than doubled the $4.74 million added a week earlier. The products drew $3.14 million on Tuesday and $8.17 million on Thursday; the other three sessions saw no net flows. The gains offset less than 1% of the combined withdrawals from Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana funds. Net assets still fell to $1.57 billion from $1.66 billion, even as cumulative inflows rose to $1.80 billion.
