Digital asset investment products recorded $1.47 billion in outflows last week. Bitcoin funds drove most of the redemptions amid higher interest rate expectations.
Crypto exchange-traded products saw heavy selling as investors pulled $1.47 billion over the seven days ending May 23. Bitcoin products accounted for the bulk of the decline, with the 11 U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs alone losing $1.26 billion, according to CoinShares data reported by CoinDesk.
Initial reactions on X highlight concerns over institutional exits from Bitcoin ETFs amid risk-off sentiment. Some users interpret the outflows as a contrarian buy signal or capital rotation into altcoins. Others note historical parallels to price drops or question if it's a temporary pause.
