Digital Asset Funds Record $1.73bn Weekly Outflows as Market Sentiment Turns Defensive

Quick Breakdown 

  • Digital asset investment products recorded $1.73bn in weekly outflows, the largest since mid-November, led by Bitcoin and Ethereum
  • Outflows were heavily concentrated in the U.S., while Switzerland, Germany and Canada posted modest inflows
  • Solana stood out with fresh inflows, even as broader sentiment remained cautious amid macro uncertainty

 

Digital asset investment products saw their largest weekly outflows since mid-November 2025, as weakening price momentum and macro uncertainty continued to weigh on investor sentiment. CoinShares data shows total outflows reached $1.73 billion, marking a sharp acceleration in capital leaving crypto-linked funds.

The pullback was heavily concentrated in the United States, which accounted for nearly $1.8 billion in withdrawals. In contrast, select European markets and Canada recorded modest inflows, suggesting that some regional investors viewed recent price weakness as an opportunity to add exposure rather than exit entirely. CoinShares attributed the divergence to differing macro expectations and positioning across regions.

Bitcoin and Ethereum lead broad-based withdrawals

 

Bitcoin recorded outflows of $1.09 billion, its steepest weekly decline since November 2025. Despite minor inflows of $0.5 million into short-bitcoin products, the data indicate that sentiment toward BTC has not materially improved since the October 2025 market downturn.

Ethereum followed with $630 million in outflows, reinforcing the view that selling pressure is widespread rather than isolated. XRP also saw net outflows of $18.2 million, adding to evidence of a broad risk-off stance across major assets.

 

Solana attracts inflows as regional divergence emerges

 

Solana stood out as one of the few assets to attract inflows, drawing $17.1 million over the week and bucking the broader trend. Smaller inflows were also recorded in Binance-linked products and Chainlink, suggesting selective positioning rather than a wholesale retreat from the market.

 

Regionally, Switzerland, Germany, and Canada posted combined inflows exceeding $85 million, while Sweden and the Netherlands saw only minor outflows. CoinShares noted that declining expectations for interest rate cuts and the lack of a clear macro catalyst continue to suppress risk appetite.

 

Meanwhile, digital asset investment products posted $454 million in net outflows last week, extending a sharp reversal that has erased most of the gains recorded at the start of 2026, according to a CoinShares report.
