Crypto markets have been gaining momentum since yesterday after Elon Musk clarified that Tesla may accept Bitcoin in future. The 49-year-olds clarification came after he faced criticism for pumping and dumping the value of cryptocurrencies.

While Musks tweet was specifically about Bitcoin, it seems to have given a boost to the overall cryptocurrency market that has been facing wild swings since last month. However, volatility is likely to remain high in the virtual currency market due to Chinas crackdown.

Meanwhile, cryptocurrency investment products and funds saw outflows for a second straight week, according to data from digital asset manager CoinShares. This seems to be a precautionary move amid rising volatility.

Total cryptocurrency outflows hit $21 million for the week ended June 11 and total outflows have reached $267 million since mid-May.

Outflows in Ether, the token used in the Ehtereum blockchain, hit a fresh record. Ether posted its largest outflow last week of $12.7 million, as per data. It may be noted that Ether has been one of the strongest performers in this calendar year.
