Digital Asset Funds See Largest Weekly Exodus Since Late 2025
Digital asset investment products witnessed their most significant weekly capital withdrawals since mid-November 2025, with total outflows reaching US$1.73 billion.
This substantial exit reflects a bearish sentiment echoing past market downturns, fueled by receding hopes for interest rate cuts, persistent negative price action, and unmet expectations for cryptocurrencies to act as an inflation hedge.
The outflows were sharply concentrated in the US market, which accounted for nearly US$1.8 billion of the total. Other regions displayed a more varied picture: Sweden and the Netherlands saw minor outflows of US$11.1 million and US$4.4 million. In contrast, investors in Switzerland, Germany, and Canada used the price drop to accumulate, generating inflows of US$32.5 million, US$19.1 million, and US$33.5 million, respectively.
Bitcoin experienced the most pronounced outflow at US$1.09 billion, marking its largest weekly exit since November 2025. A slight inflow of US$0.5 million into short-bitcoin products suggests some investors are betting on further decline. Overall, this data indicates market sentiment has not recovered from the shock of the October 10, 2025, price crash.
The sell-off extended across other major assets. Ethereum and XRP recorded outflows of US$630 million and US$18.2 million, demonstrating the negative sentiment was widespread. Solana was a clear outlier, attracting US$17.1 million in inflows. Minor inflows were also seen into products for Binance (US$4.6m) and Chainlink (US$3.8m).
