CoinShares: Digital Asset Investment Products Saw a Net Outflow of $1.7 Billion Last Week, Turning into a Year-to-Date Net Outflow

February 2 — Digital asset investment products posted a record $1.7 billion in outflows last week, pushing year-to-date net flows into negative territory at $1 billion, according to CoinShares’ latest weekly report. Total assets under management (AuM) have dropped by $73 billion since the October 2025 price peak. Outflows were heavily concentrated in the U.S. ($1.65 billion), with notable withdrawals also in Canada and Sweden. Bitcoin led the outflows at $1.32 billion, while mainstream tokens including Ethereum, XRP and Solana also saw investor exits. Analysts cite three key factors driving the shift in market sentiment: a more hawkish Federal Reserve chair appointment, four-year cycle “whale selling,” and escalating geopolitical turmoil. Notably, short Bitcoin products and Hype investment products bucked the trend, bringing in $14.5 million and $15.5 million in inflows respectively — the latter boosted by a frenzy of online sales for tokenized precious metals.
