Bitcoin Price Fails To Launch With $751 Million In Outflows, Are Institutions Cashing Out?
Bitcoin experienced significant outflows, with $751 million withdrawn in a single week, contributing to a total of $795 million in outflows from the crypto market. This marks one of the largest weekly outflows of the year and indicates potential institutional cashing out. Since early February 2025, digital asset investment products have seen cumulative outflows of approximately $7.2 billion, nearly negating year-to-date inflows. Bitcoin's net flows for 2025 have decreased to $165 million, down from previous multi-billion dollar peaks. Despite the outflows, Bitcoin retains $545 million in net year-to-date inflows. Other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Solana, Aave, and SUI also faced losses. Economic uncertainty due to tariff policies has negatively impacted investor sentiment, although a temporary rebound occurred following a reversal of tariffs by President Trump, leading to an 8% recovery in total assets under management across digital assets.
