Digital Asset Investment Products Experience Significant Outflows

Digital asset investment products saw a substantial outflow of $1.7 billion last week, according to BlockBeats. This shift has resulted in a net outflow of $1 billion since the beginning of the year, as reported by CoinShares' latest weekly data. Since the peak in October 2025, the total assets under management (AuM) have decreased by $73 billion. The majority of the outflows were concentrated in the United States, accounting for $1.65 billion, with Canada and Sweden also experiencing significant withdrawals. Bitcoin faced an outflow of $1.32 billion, while other major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, XRP, and Solana also saw investors pulling back. Analysts attribute the change in market sentiment to several factors, including the appointment of a more hawkish chair by the Federal Reserve, the "whale sell-off" in the four-year cycle, and heightened geopolitical tensions. Notably, short Bitcoin products and Hype investment products defied the trend, recording inflows of $14.5 million and $15.5 million, respectively. The latter benefited from the on-chain sales boom of tokenized precious metals.
