Digital asset investment products saw $288 million in net outflows last week, marking the fifth consecutive week of losses. This brings cumulative outflows to $4 billion so far in the period. Trading volumes dropped to $17 billion, the lowest since July 2025.
Last week, the cryptocurrency investment sector experienced continued pressure, with digital asset products recording $288 million in net outflows. This extends a streak of declines to five weeks, according to research from CoinShares. The total outflows now reach $4 billion, a notable figure but less than the $6 billion seen over the same timeframe in 2025.
Trading activity also weakened, falling to $17 billion—the lowest level since July 2025. This decline points to reduced investor engagement rather than widespread panic selling.
Regionally, US investors led the outflows with $347 million, reflecting ongoing caution. In contrast, European and Canadian markets showed inflows totaling $59 million, viewing the dip as an opportunity to buy. Switzerland contributed the largest share at $19.5 million, followed by Canada with $16.8 million and Germany at $16.2 million.
By asset, Bitcoin bore the brunt, accounting for $215 million of the outflows, or about three-quarters of the total. Short-Bitcoin products saw $5.5 million in inflows, the biggest for any single asset, indicating some interest in hedging. Ethereum lost $36.5 million, multi-asset products $32.5 million, and Tron $18.9 million. Smaller gains appeared in XRP ($3.5 million), Solana ($3.3 million), and Chainlink ($1.2 million), but these did little to counter the overall trend.
Analysts describe the outflows as driven by sentiment rather than deeper structural issues. Institutional investors in Europe and Canada are increasing their positions, suggesting they see current prices as a good entry point for digital assets.
