Crypto Funds Record $288 Million Outflows as Bitcoin and Ether ETPs Extend Losing Streak

Crypto investment products posted $288 million in net outflows last week, marking the fifth consecutive week of withdrawals and the longest exit streak since the launch of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024. The sustained pullback has pushed cumulative outflows to roughly $4 billion, highlighting fragile investor sentiment across digital asset markets.

Bitcoin ETP Outflows Lead as Short Products Gain

Bitcoin focused exchange traded products (ETPs) accounted for the bulk of last week’s redemptions, with $215 million in net outflows. Year to date, Bitcoin ETPs have recorded approximately $1.3 billion in net withdrawals, the deepest among major crypto assets.

In contrast, short Bitcoin products attracted $5.5 million in inflows, suggesting that some investors continue to position for downside risk. Ether funds followed the broader trend, shedding $36.5 million during the week and bringing annual outflows to about $500 million. XRP and Solana products saw modest inflows of $3.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

Trading Volumes and ETF Activity Show Mixed Signals

Trading activity in crypto ETPs declined to $17 billion, the lowest level since July 2025, reflecting reduced participation. However, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a brief uptick in activity on Friday, with daily volumes rising to $3.7 billion and modest inflows of $88 million, though the week still ended in negative territory.
