Cryptocurrency ETPs face massive capital outflows, Bitcoin and Ethereum under pressure

Largest outflow since the end of 2025

Last week, the digital asset market was hit by a significant sell-off. According to data from CoinShares, there was a capital outflow of $1.73 billion, representing the largest negative weekly balance since November 2025. The reason is a combination of an uncertain economic outlook, persistently high interest rates, and disappointment with the price development of cryptocurrencies. Analysts point out that sentiment has changed rapidly compared to the previous week, when over $2 billion flowed into crypto funds. The market has thus entered a phase of waiting and increased caution.

The largest outflows were from products linked to Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin funds lost approximately $1.09 billion, while investors withdrew roughly $630 million from Ethereum products. This development confirms that the largest cryptocurrencies are most exposed to capital withdrawals in times of uncertainty.

On the other hand, some investors are shifting to alternative strategies. Solana recorded slight inflows, and projects such as Chainlink also saw less interest. Another interesting signal is the growth in the volume of funds in ETP products betting on a decline in the price of Bitcoin, which indicates continuing skepticism about short-term market developments.

From the perspective of fund managers, BlackRock’s products were the most affected, specifically its iShares series, which saw outflows of nearly $1 billion. Fidelity and Grayscale also recorded significant outflows. The total value of assets under management in crypto funds thus fell by approximately $15 billion.

According to experts at CoinShares, the current situation may mark the beginning of a longer phase of consolidation. Investors are now waiting for clearer signals from the economy and monetary policy. Further developments will show whether the cryptocurrency market can stabilize and attract institutional capital again.
