Investor withdrawals from digital asset investment products totaled $288 million last week, extending the downturn to five consecutive weeks, as short-Bitcoin funds saw strong inflows, according to CoinShares.
In the last five weeks, digital asset products have seen $4 billion in cumulative outflows, with trading activity sliding to levels not seen since mid-2025. Weekly volumes fell to $17 billion, signaling subdued investor interest.
Regional patterns diverged sharply. Investors in the US withdrew $347 million, while their counterparts in Europe and Canada added $59 million, with Switzerland, Canada, and Germany contributing $19.5 million, $16.8 million, and $16.2 million, respectively.
Bitcoin accounted for most of the weakness with $215 million in outflows, whereas short-Bitcoin products drew the strongest inflows at $5.5 million with small allocations into select altcoins, including XRP, Solana, and Chainlink.
Ethereum-focused vehicles lost $36.5 million, while multi-asset funds and Tron-linked products recorded outflows of $32.5 million and $18.9 million, respectively.
Bitcoin hovered around $66,000 at press time after briefly falling below $65,000 yesterday following the announcement of Trump’s new tariff policy. The leading digital asset has declined 24% year-to-date, per CoinGecko.
