Four Weeks of Outflows Mark One of the Largest Runs Since 2018

Last week saw $1.94 billion withdrawn from digital asset investment products, marking four weeks of consecutive selling. This brings the total for the month to $4.59 billion, with a cumulative four-week total of $4.92 billion. According to CoinShares, this represents about 2.9% of the total assets under management (AUM) and ranks as one of the largest outflow cycles since early 2018. The withdrawals stem from various factors, including profit-taking, macroeconomic uncertainty, and changes in institutional strategies.

Despite these outflows, CoinShares reports a 36% drop in AUM due to falling prices and recent pullbacks. However, it is noteworthy that year-to-date inflows remain strong at $44.4 billion, indicating that the long-term interest in digital assets persists.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Lead Withdrawals – Recovery Signs Emerge on Friday

Bitcoin played a central role in last week’s selling, with an outflow of $1.27 billion, which made up the majority of total withdrawals. Nonetheless, Bitcoin also showed one of the strongest recovery signals by posting inflows of $225 million on Friday, marking the best single-day turnaround across all investment products.

Meanwhile, Short-Bitcoin products continue to draw in investors looking to hedge against volatility. These products experienced $19 million in inflows last week, accumulating $40 million over the past three weeks, which now accounts for 23% of their total AUM. The AUM for Short-BTC has surged by an impressive 119%, indicating significant downside positioning even as markets begin to stabilize.

Ethereum, on the other hand, faced $589 million in outflows, equating to 7.3% of its AUM. Yet, ETH managed to achieve a small recovery late in the week, with $57.5 million in inflows on Friday, suggesting that some investors view current prices as oversold.

Market Trends

Solana Suffers, but XRP Breaks the Trend With Strong Inflows

The performance of altcoins was varied. Solana (SOL), which had seen a significant rally throughout 2025, suffered outflows of $156 million as investors took profits after a strong year. However, Solana continues to show strong fundamentals, with consistent institutional participation over recent quarters.

Conversely, XRP distinguished itself as the only major altcoin to attract significant inflows, bringing in $89.3 million. This influx indicates a renewed interest in XRP, amidst growing faith in its payments-driven ecosystem and appealing valuation.

Regional Outflows

Regional Outflows Led by the U.S., While Brazil and Australia See Modest Inflows

An analysis of outflows by country reveals that the United States led the way, with withdrawals totaling $1.686 billion, reflecting the influence of U.S. institutions on recent derisking trends. Other countries, such as Germany, Canada, Sweden, and Switzerland, also experienced significant redemptions, contributing to the total global outflows of $1.94 billion.

In contrast to this trend, Brazil and Australia recorded modest inflows of $3.5 million and $2 million, respectively, highlighting pockets of resilience outside the major Western markets.
