Crypto Funds Shed $4B Across Five-Week Negative Streak
Digital asset investment products have experienced five consecutive weeks of outflows, totaling about $4 billion, as investor appetite cools amid macroeconomic uncertainty. Last week alone saw $288 million in net outflows and a sharp drop in trading volume to $17 billion, the lowest since July 2025. Bitcoin led the withdrawals with $215 million in outflows, followed by Ethereum with $36.5 million. In contrast, some altcoins like XRP, Solana, and Chainlink attracted minor inflows, but these were insufficient to counter the wider selling. Regional trends diverged: the U.S. saw $347 million in outflows, while Europe and Canada recorded $59 million in inflows, suggesting some international investors view the downturn as a buying opportunity. The persistent outflows, declining volumes, and increased activity in short-Bitcoin products reflect mounting bearish sentiment. Market participants expect further downside for major cryptocurrencies, with prediction markets indicating high probabilities of price declines across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Hyperliquid, and Solana. Ongoing uncertainty over inflation, interest rates, and geopolitical tensions suggests continued risk aversion and no imminent reversal of the current outflow trend.
