Crypto Exodus Hits $1.7 Billion but Tokenized Metals Draw Investor Inflows
Crypto funds experienced $1.7 billion in outflows last week, but tokenized metals are attracting investor interest.Summary
Digital asset funds saw a second consecutive week of outflows, totaling $1.7 billion, reversing year-to-date inflows and resulting in a net $1 billion outflow. Total assets under management (AuM) have decreased by $73 billion since October 2025, driven by factors like a more hawkish US Federal Reserve Chair, whale selling, and geopolitical volatility. The US accounted for the majority of withdrawals at $1.65 billion. Bitcoin and Ethereum experienced significant outflows, while short Bitcoin products and tokenized precious metals saw inflows, indicating a defensive shift in the market. Investors are increasingly hedging against further downside and exploring alternative stores of value amid crypto market stress. Market sentiment will likely depend on upcoming US economic events, a decrease in large-holder selling, and a reduction in geopolitical risks.
