Crypto investment products saw continued selling last week as investor sentiment weakened, marking two straight weeks of outflows, CoinShares reported Monday.
Crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded $1.7 billion of outflows for the week, bringing two-week outflows to $3.43 billion and turning year-to-date flows negative by about $1 billion. James Butterfill, CoinShares’ head of research, attributed the selling to a mix of factors, including the appointment of a more hawkish US Federal Reserve Chair, continued whale selling tied to the four-year cycle, and elevated geopolitical volatility.
Total assets under management (AUM) in crypto funds fell to $165.8 billion, a decline of $73 billion since October 2025. Bitcoin-led products accounted for the bulk of redemptions, with $1.32 billion leaving BTC investment products last week and $733 million withdrawn year-to-date. Ether funds posted $308 million in weekly outflows and $383 million YTD in net outflows. Solana and XRP saw outflows of $31.7 million and $43.7 million, respectively. Short Bitcoin products, meanwhile, drew $14.5 million in inflows, reflecting negative market sentiment.
By issuer, BlackRock’s iShares experienced the largest outflows at around $1.2 billion. Grayscale and Fidelity had about $300 million and $197 million of outflows, respectively. On the positive side, ProFunds Group and Volatility Shares attracted roughly $139 million and $61 million in inflows. CoinShares also noted Hyperliquid (HYPE) as an exception, benefiting from activity in tokenized precious metals.
The outflows preceded a sharp weekend sell-off that pushed Bitcoin below $75,000 on Sunday. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index sat in “Extreme Fear” at 14, suggesting funds could face further pressure unless markets rebound. At publication, CoinGecko quoted Bitcoin trading near $77,610, down 1.7% over the prior 24 hours.
