Crypto funds see $288M in outflows as short Bitcoin demand grows

Digital asset investment products saw $288 million in investor withdrawals last week, marking the fifth consecutive week of outflows, totaling $4 billion cumulatively over the past five weeks, according to CoinShares data. This downturn coincided with trading activity falling to levels not seen since mid-2025, with weekly volumes dropping to $17 billion. Regional trends showed a sharp divergence, as US investors withdrew $347 million, while European and Canadian investors added a combined $59 million. Bitcoin was the primary driver of outflows with $215 million, contrasting sharply with strong inflows of $5.5 million into short-Bitcoin products. Ethereum vehicles lost $36.5 million, and multi-asset funds saw $32.5 million in outflows. Modest inflows were noted for XRP, Solana, and Chainlink, but these were insufficient to counteract broader losses.
