Digital asset investment products recorded $1.73 billion in outflows last week, the largest weekly exodus since mid-November 2025, as declining expectations for interest rate cuts and negative price momentum drove investors away from the sector.
What Happened: Record Weekly Outflows
The outflows were heavily concentrated in the United States, which accounted for nearly $1.8 billion in redemptions, according to CoinShares' weekly fund flows report.
Sweden and the Netherlands followed with minor outflows of $11.1 million and $4.4 million respectively.
Some European markets viewed the price weakness as a buying opportunity. Switzerland, Germany and Canada added to long positions with inflows of $32.5 million, $19.1 million and $33.5 million respectively.
Bitcoin (BTC) led the retreat with $1.09 billion in outflows, its largest since mid-November 2025. Short-Bitcoin products attracted a modest $500,000 in new investment.
Ethereum (ETH) and XRP (XRP) saw outflows of $630 million and $18.2 million respectively. Solana (SOL) bucked the trend with $17.1 million in inflows, while Binance (BNB) and Chainlink (LINK) drew $4.6 million and $3.8 million respectively.

Why It Matters: Sentiment Shift
The broad-based selling suggests investor confidence has not recovered since the Oct. 10, 2025 price crash.
CoinShares attributed the outflows to multiple factors: dwindling expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, persistent negative price momentum and disappointment that digital assets have not benefited from debasement trades.
The regional divergence highlights differing investor approaches to the downturn. While U.S. investors fled risk assets, European counterparts in Switzerland and Germany treated lower prices as entry points.
