Digital asset investment products absorbed $2.17 billion of fresh capital last week, the strongest weekly haul since October 10, 2025, only to end Friday with a dramatic reversal that saw $378 million flee in a single session.
At a Glance
- Bitcoin captured $1.55 billion of the weekly inflows before sentiment flipped
- Friday’s $378 million outflow was triggered by geopolitical and policy headlines
- The US led regional inflows with $2.05 billion, while Sweden lost $4 million
- Why it matters: The swift mood swing shows how quickly macro headlines can erase crypto optimism
The early-week surge unraveled after renewed diplomatic tensions over Greenland, fresh tariff threats, and reports that Kevin Hassett-viewed as a policy dove-will likely remain in his current role rather than take the helm at the Federal Reserve. The news broke the momentum that had carried digital-asset funds to their best weekly total since the days just before last year’s major market crash.
Early Optimism Fades
According to CoinShares’ Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report, the bulk of the weekly inflows arrived Monday through Thursday. Bitcoin commanded the lion’s share, pulling in $1.55 billion and reinforcing its dominance in the current cycle. Ethereum products added $496 million, while XRP vehicles attracted $69.5 million, shrugging off regulatory noise around the US Senate Banking Committee’s CLARITY Act proposals that could cap yield offerings on stablecoins.
Altcoins also shared in the early enthusiasm:
- XRP products led with $45.5 million
- Sui gathered $5.7 million
- Lido took in $3.7 million
- Hedera added $2.6 million
- Litecoin and Chainlink recorded $2.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively
Multi-asset products were the exception, shedding $12.5 million for the period.
Regional Flow Snapshot
Investor appetite was strongest in the United States, where funds pulled in $2.05 billion. Europe followed with solid gains:
| Country | Weekly Inflows |
|---|---|
| Germany | $63.9 million |
| Switzerland | $41.6 million |
| Canada | $12.3 million |
| Netherlands | $6 million |
| France | $1.3 million |
| Australia | $0.3 million |
| Italy | $0.2 million |
| New Zealand | $0.1 million |
Sweden bucked the trend, losing $4 million, while Brazil saw $1 million exit.
Risk-Off Mood Returns
Friday’s $378 million outflow coincided with a broader retreat from risk assets. Mercury Co-Founder and CEO Petr Kozyakov told News Of Los Angeles that the reversal shows “optimism was on thin ice,” noting that digital-asset markets are once again sliding while traditional safe havens gain traction.
> “The biggest cryptocurrency stands at $93,000, with the dive in Asian trading evaporating most of this year’s gains. While sentiment had flipped positive at the start of the year, the pullback in digital assets suggests that optimism was on thin ice, underscored by multi-million-dollar liquidations across derivatives markets. Cryptocurrency markets are once again spiralling into risk-off mode as global stock markets also record losses. Meanwhile, gold and silver continue to shine brightly as investors seek out safer pastures.”
The quick shift underscores how sensitive crypto flows remain to macro headlines, even when early-week momentum appears robust.
