Global crypto investment funds recorded $2.9 billion in net outflows last week. James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, pointed to several factors contributing to this negative trend, including the Bybit hack, a more hawkish stance from the Federal Reserve, and a general decline in market sentiment.
This marks the third consecutive week of withdrawals, bringing total outflows over the past three weeks to $3.8 billion, according to data from CoinShares. Investor confidence has dropped in the market due to uncertainty, making many investors more cautious. This cautiousness arises from economic challenges and ongoing security issues in the crypto world.
However, despite recent fund withdrawals, the crypto market is still optimistic. This is mainly due to the announcement of President Donald Trump’s proposed crypto strategic reserve.
Although this announcement briefly increased prices, it has not yet significantly affected the flow of funds. Investors are waiting for more information on how this strategic reserve might impact the market in the long run.
The outflows were mainly concentrated in the U.S., where crypto funds lost $2.87 billion. Switzerland and Canada also saw net outflows of $73 million and $16.9 million, respectively. However, not all regions followed the same pattern. Investment funds in Germany reported net inflows of $55.3 million.
Furthermore, Bitcoin investment products recorded $2.59 billion in outflows, with short Bitcoin experiencing inflows of $2.3 million. Despite this negative market pattern, many institutional investors such as Strategy, Metaplanet, and Fidelity still add to their BTC holdings. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Ton also saw outflows of $300 million, $7.4 million, and $22.6 million, respectively.
It is worth noting that some altcoins bucked the trend. Sui led altcoin inflows, attracting $15.5 million last week. XRP followed with $5 million in inflows.
Recall that crypto investment funds recorded $415 million in outflows recently.
James Butterfill opines that the significant outflows were triggered by Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s hawkish stance at a recent congressional meeting. Butterfill also linked the outflow with current U.S. inflation data, which exceeded expectations.
Before the $415 million outflow, crypto investment products registered $6.74 billion inflows in five weeks. As previously reported by TheCoinRise, U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have recorded massive inflows in 2025.
