Crypto Investment Products Bleed US$1.73 Billion in One Week
Investors pulled a net US$1.73 billion from digital asset investment products last week, the largest single-week outflow since mid-November 2025. The decline points to a pessimistic shift in mood, likely driven by dimming prospects for lower interest rates, ongoing price weakness, and frustration that digital assets have not served as a reliable debasement hedge.
Geographically, the exit was overwhelmingly led by the United States, with outflows nearing US$1.8 billion. Sentiment in Europe and Canada was mixed. While Sweden and the Netherlands saw small outflows of US$11.1 million and US$4.4 million, markets in Switzerland, Germany, and Canada registered net inflows of US$32.5 million, US$19.1 million, and US$33.5 million as buyers stepped in.
Bitcoin faced outflows of US$1.09 billion, its worst week since late 2025. Interestingly, short-bitcoin products saw a minor US$0.5 million inflow. The figures suggest that investor confidence remains fragile following the sharp downturn that began on October 10, 2025.
The negative flows were not exclusive to Bitcoin. Ethereum and XRP also saw significant withdrawals of US$630 million and US$18.2 million, indicating broad-based caution. Solana defied the trend with US$17.1 million in inflows. Other assets like Binance (US$4.6m) and Chainlink (US$3.8m) also recorded modest inflows.
