Retail investors recorded their largest one-day net selling of individual stocks since the market collapse triggered by the COVID-19 shock in March 2020, according to data from Vanda Research cited by BlockBeats on July 30. The move did not signal a broad exit from equities. At the same time, investors were net buyers of the Roundhill Memory ETF, pointing to a shift in positioning rather than a retreat from the market.
Viraj Patel, global macro strategist at Vanda Research, said the record net selling was concentrated in a small number of stocks instead of reflecting large-scale outflows across the wider market. His comments suggest retail investors are becoming more selective and more cautious in how they allocate capital. Rather than turning broadly bearish on equities, they appear to be moving part of their exposure away from single-name risk and into ETF products as a way to reduce risk.
