Crypto investment products recorded a fourth consecutive week of net outflows, shedding $173 million, as investor caution persisted across major digital assets. While withdrawals continued, the pace slowed significantly compared with the heavy selling seen in late January and early February. At the same time, some altcoins attracted fresh inflows.
CoinShares’ latest weekly fund flows report shows cumulative outflows of $3.74 billion over the past four weeks, reflecting weak sentiment following earlier market volatility.
Last week’s outflow of $173 million was broadly in line with the previous week’s $187 million decline, suggesting the sharp liquidation phase may be easing.
Earlier in the cycle, withdrawals were much steeper, with roughly $1.7 billion in outflows recorded in each of the final weeks of January.
Market activity also cooled, with ETF trading volumes falling to $27 billion, down from the record $63 billion reported the week before. The decline in turnover indicates investors may be stepping back from aggressive repositioning, even as broader uncertainty remains.
Despite the overall negative flows, sentiment improved slightly toward the end of the week. CoinShares reported $105 million in inflows on Friday after softer-than-expected US inflation data.
“Sentiment improved slightly on Friday following weaker-than-expected CPI data,” wrote James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares.
The latest data showed a widening regional divide, with the US accounting for $403 million in outflows, making it the primary driver of the global decline.
While US investors remained cautious—potentially reflecting macro uncertainty and positioning shifts—institutions in other markets may have been more willing to view recent price weakness as an opportunity to accumulate.
Large-cap products continued to bear the brunt of negative sentiment. Bitcoin investment products saw $133 million in outflows, the weakest performance among major assets.
Short Bitcoin products also recorded outflows totaling $15.4 million over the past two weeks.
Ethereum funds posted $85.1 million in outflows as investors reduced exposure to the second-largest crypto by market value.
Smaller products were also affected, including Hyperliquid, which saw modest withdrawals of around $1 million.
Against the broader outflow trend, several altcoins continued to attract capital. XRP led inflows at $33.4 million, followed by Solana at $31 million. Chainlink added $1.1 million.
These inflows suggest a rotation toward specific assets rather than a wholesale exit from the crypto sector, even as exposure to larger-cap tokens declines.
Taken together, the data indicates a market still under pressure but stabilizing compared with the intense selling earlier in the year. Crypto outflows remain persistent, but their reduced scale—alongside regional inflows and continued interest in certain altcoins—points to portfolio adjustments rather than abandonment of the asset class.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
