Crypto Investment Products See Fourth Straight Week Of Outflows As BTC Slips Under $70K

Digital asset investment vehicles kept losing money last week, with $173 million in net withdrawals. This happened as BTC fell below $70,000 and the overall market mood remained negative.

CoinShares’ weekly fund flows report, on Monday, says this is the fourth week in a row that crypto platform-traded products (ETPs) have lost money. Over the past four weeks, cumulative redemptions have reached around $3.8 billion, bringing total down to about $133 billion, the lowest level since April 2025.

BTC Leads the trade-Off

ETPs focused on BTC saw the most investor outflows, with $133.3 million in outflows for the week. The amount of money that BTC products manage fell to about $106 billion. In the US, recorded outflows of around $360 million, adding to the overall negative flow.

Ether products also saw $85 million in withdrawals worldwide, while U.S. spot Ether ETFs recorded small inflows of $10 million, which went against the main trend.

Differences Between Regions begin to Show

There were significant geographic divides in the flows. U.S. crypto investment products lost $403 million, which shows that both institutions and regular people are being very careful. In contrast, regions outside the U.S. recorded $230 million in inflows, with Germany ($115 million), Canada ($46 million), and Switzerland ($37 million) leading the way.

Altcoins Go Against the Grain

While large assets were under pressure, some cryptocurrencies attracted capital. XRP ETPs had $33.4 million in new investments, and saw $31 million in new investments. This shows that investors are moving toward higher-risk, momentum-driven names during the larger slump.

Analysts Say Prices Are fragile

James Butterfill, the head of research at CoinShares, said that the outflows were caused by “broad market negativity and ongoing price fragileness.” At the begin of the week, BTC was about $70,000. By Thursday, it had dropped to $65,000, and by the end of the week, it was worth about $67,479. Ether was worth about $1,955, XRP was worth $1.47, and Solana was worth $83.08.

Standard Chartered analysts have officially lowered their for 2026 from $150,000 to $100,000. They think the price could drop to $50,000 before it rebounds. The bank expects BTC to be worth $100,000 and Ether to be worth $4,000 by the end of the year.

Market Sentiment Remains Cautious

The ongoing outflows occur as significantly below recent highs, suggesting investors are viewking to reduce risk in a volatile market. There were signs of strength in altcoin ETPs, but the overall picture remains one of caution. Total AUM is still declining, and traditional secure-haven investments may be siphoning money from crypto.

People who watch the industry say that the rate of outflows has sluggished in the last few weeks compared to prior periods of significant tradeing. However, the streak of negative flows means thatproducts will continue to face challenges.
