Digital asset investment products recorded $173 million in net outflows for the week, marking a fourth consecutive week of withdrawals that have now totaled $3.74 billion, according to CoinShares' latest weekly report — though select altcoins including XRP (XRP) and Solana (SOL) bucked the trend with a combined $64.4 million in fresh inflows.
What Happened: Crypto Fund Outflows Continue
The week followed a volatile pattern. Early optimism drove $575 million in inflows, but persistent price weakness then triggered $853 million in redemptions, according to the CoinShares Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report.
Sentiment improved slightly on Friday after softer CPI data prompted $105 million in inflows. Trading volumes for exchange-traded products fell to $27 billion, less than half the $63 billion recorded the prior week.
Bitcoin (BTC) led the losses with $133 million in outflows, while short Bitcoin products shed $15.4 million over two weeks — a pattern CoinShares said is frequently observed near cyclical lows. Ethereum (ETH) lost $85.1 million, and multi-asset strategies saw $14 million in withdrawals.
XRP, Solana and Chainlink (LINK) attracted $33.4 million, $31 million and $1.1 million respectively. Litecoin (LTC) added $0.4 million.
Regional flows diverged sharply: the United States posted $403 million in outflows while international markets collectively drew $230 million. Germany led at $115 million, followed by Canada at $46.3 million, Switzerland at $36.8 million, Brazil at $14 million, Australia at nearly $10 million and Sweden at $2.8 million.

Why It Matters: Market Correction or Deeper Trouble
Bitcoin has fallen nearly 50% from its all-time high last October, and some analysts have warned the price could slide to $50,000 before any sustained recovery takes hold.
Hedy Wang, fintech veteran and founder of BlockStreet, offered a more measured view. In a statement, Wang said the current turbulence reflects a maturing market rather than a fundamental collapse.
"Unlike earlier speculative bubbles, the current Web3 ecosystem is supported by a more resilient and collaborative community ethos focused on long-term building," Wang said. "An analytical view suggests the market is undergoing a natural, albeit volatile, evolutionary phase, with data pointing towards a repeating historical pattern rather than an unprecedented crisis."
