The latest fund flows report from CoinShares reveals sustained outflows from crypto asset investment products, signaling continued caution from investors amid global economic pressures.
According to the firm’s data, last week marked the third consecutive week of outflows, totaling $795 million across various crypto-related funds. These withdrawals come amid the recent tariff disputes, notably driven by recent US policy shifts, dampen sentiment across financial markets.
Bitcoin Dominates Outflows While Altcoins See Mixed Activity
The report reveals that Bitcoin experienced the most significant outflows last week, with $751 million withdrawn from related investment products. Despite this, the asset still holds a positive net inflow year-to-date of $545 million.
CoinShares further reported that the outflows were broadly distributed across different countries and asset managers, highighting the global nature of investor caution. Even short-Bitcoin products, which typically benefit from bearish sentiment, recorded outflows totaling $4.6 million.
Ethereum followed with $37.6 million in outflows, reflecting the second-largest withdrawal among digital assets for the week. Other notable altcoins also saw moderate outflows, including Solana ($5.1 million), Aave ($780,000), and Sui ($580,000).
In contrast, a few smaller assets recorded slight inflows, suggesting some investors may be diversifying amid broader declines. XRP led the gains among altcoins with $3.5 million in inflows, followed by Ondo, Algorand, and Avalanche with inflows under $500,000 each.
Recorded Rebound As Prices Rise
CoinShares’ head of research, James Butterfill, noted that the negative trend, which began in early February, has led to a cumulative $7.2 billion in outflows, effectively wiping out nearly all the year-to-date inflows. As of now, net inflows for 2025 stand at only $165 million.
However, a brief recovery in asset prices toward the end of last week helped stabilize the total assets under management (AuM), which rose 8% from their lowest point on April 8 to $130 billion.
This turnaround follows President Trump’s recent pause on tariffs, a move that contributed to broader market optimism in the latter part of the week.
So far, Bitcoin has now seen roughly 10% surge in the past week alone as its price currently hovers above $84,000—a slight retracement from the $85,315 24-hour high seen earlier today.
Interestingly, Ethereum wasn’t left behind this time in the surge. Over the same period, Ethereum has also increased by nearly 10% with its price currently trading at a price of $1,660, at the time of writing, marking a 4.3% uptick in the past day.
XRP, Solana and other altcoins has also seen their share of a significant increase with XRP soaring by 19.1% in the past 7 days and Solana increasing by 29.8% in the same period.
