Digital asset investment products continued their losing streak for the fourth consecutive week, with outflows reaching $876 million, according to CoinShares‘ latest report.
James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, noted that while the rate of capital flight has slowed, investors remain cautious amid the bearish market situation.
He said the outflow brought the total outflows for the past month to $4.75 billion, while year-to-date inflows slipped to $2.6 billion.
At the same time, total assets under management (AUM) also fell by $39 billion, settling at $142 billion—the lowest level since mid-November 2024.
US leads outflows
The US accounted for the largest share of outflows, with investors withdrawing approximately $922 million.
This came despite President Donald Trump’s announcement of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile, making the top crypto a major financial asset for the global financial system.
During the period, institutional investment vehicles were among the hardest hit. Fidelity’s FBTC, BlackRock’s IBIT, and Ark21Shares all saw outflows exceeding $133 million each.
Meanwhile, investors in Switzerland, Canada, and Germany took advantage of the dip, contributing inflows of $23 million, $47 million, and $13.3 million, respectively.
Altcoins face mixed reactions
Across digital assets, Bitcoin experienced the heaviest outflows, with $756 million exiting the top crypto.
The downturn coincided with a sharp price drop, as BTC fell nearly 15% last week, sliding from around $94,318 to as low as $80,085, according to CryptoSlate data. This decline triggered a wave of liquidations across the crypto market, further dampening sentiment.
Meanwhile, short-Bitcoin products saw outflows of $19.8 million—their largest since December 2024.
Ethereum, Tron, and Aave suffered outflows of $89 million, $32 million, and $2.4 million, respectively. On the other hand, Solana, XRP, and Sui attracted inflows of $16.4 million, $5.6 million, and $2.7 million.
Additionally, blockchain-related equity exchange-traded products (ETPs) were not spared from the broader market decline, recording $48 million in outflows last week.
