Bitcoin ETPs Suffer Largest 2026 Outflow as Crypto Investment Products Lose $1.67 Billion

Crypto investment products extended their losing streak for a third consecutive week, recording $1.67 billion in outflows. The latest figure marks the second largest weekly withdrawal seen in 2026 and pushes total outflows over the past three weeks to $4.21 billion.

As a result, total assets under management across crypto investment products dropped to $141 billion, their lowest level since early April.

According to James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, growing geopolitical concerns linked to Iran triggered a broader risk off sentiment among investors. He noted that the current trend resembles the January February period, when crypto funds experienced five straight weeks of outflows.

Bitcoin Records Biggest Outflow of the Year

Bitcoin investment products accounted for the majority of withdrawals, losing $1.44 billion during the week. This was the largest weekly Bitcoin ETP outflow recorded in 2026. Despite recent selling, Bitcoin funds still hold around $1.2 billion in net inflows for the year, while assets under management fell to $114.6 billion.

Ethereum products also remained under pressure, posting $257.3 million in outflows and bringing year-to-date losses to $346 million.

XRP Defies Market Trend

While most digital assets saw investor withdrawals, XRP attracted $20.3 million in inflows. Hyperliquid and Near followed with inflows of $10.8 million and $7.6 million respectively.

Regionally, the United States accounted for $1.63 billion of total outflows. Germany recorded $25.7 million in withdrawals, while Sweden and Hong Kong saw outflows of $6.6 million and $4.5 million. The Netherlands was the only country to post notable inflows, attracting $1.3 million during the week.

Analysts at Laser Digital said the market decline occurred without a clear catalyst and was also influenced by weaker equity market performance and limited institutional demand.
