- Digital asset products saw $173 million in outflows, marking the fourth straight week.
- US investors led withdrawals with $403M, while Europe and Canada rotated capital in.
- XRP and Solana drew selective inflows, highlighting interest in high-performance networks.
Digital asset investment products recorded a fourth straight week of net redemptions, underscoring persistent caution among institutional investors. According to CoinShares’ latest weekly report, total outflows reached $173 million, extending the four-week total to $3.74 billion.
Although the week opened with strong inflows, selling pressure quickly returned as prices weakened. Consequently, sentiment in the United States deteriorated further, while select altcoins attracted fresh capital.
US Leads Outflows While Europe Shows Strength
Regional data revealed a clear divergence in investor positioning. The United States posted $403 million in outflows, reflecting continued uncertainty around macro conditions and price volatility.
However, other regions moved in the opposite direction. Germany led global inflows with $115 million, signaling steady institutional appetite.
Additionally, Canada attracted $46.3 million in inflows, while Switzerland added $36.8 million. These flows suggest that European and Canadian investors took advantage of lower prices. Hence, capital rotation outside the United States helped offset part of the broader weakness.
ETP trading activity also cooled during the week. Volumes dropped sharply to $27 billion from the previous week’s record $63 billion. The slowdown indicates reduced speculative activity and tighter positioning across markets.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Face Selling Pressure
Bitcoin recorded the largest outflows among major assets. Investors withdrew $133 million as sentiment weakened further. However, short Bitcoin products also saw redemptions totaling $15.4 million over the past two weeks. This pattern often appears near market turning points.
Ethereum followed a similar path, with $85.1 million leaving investment products. Besides Ethereum, Hyperliquid posted modest outflows of $1 million. These movements highlight broad risk reduction across large-cap digital assets.
XRP and Solana Draw Selective Inflows
Despite overall caution, several altcoins showed resilience. XRP attracted $33.4 million in inflows during the week. Moreover, Solana recorded $31 million in new investments, reflecting sustained interest in high-performance networks.
Chainlink also registered $1.1 million in inflows, signaling continued confidence in decentralized oracle infrastructure. Significantly, these selective inflows demonstrate that investors still seek exposure to projects with strong ecosystem narratives.
The week closed on a slightly improved note after softer inflation data boosted risk appetite. Friday alone brought $105 million in inflows. However, the broader trend still points to defensive positioning. Consequently, market participants appear to balance caution with targeted opportunities as macro signals evolve.
