Global crypto funds record largest weekly outflows since March worth $1.4 billion: CoinShares

Crypto investment products issued by wealth managers like BlackRock, Grayscale, and Fidelity logged $1.4 billion in net outflows last week, the largest since March, as risk appetite wobbled and flows flipped negative for both bitcoin and ether, according to CoinShares’ latest weekly report.

Bitcoin funds saw the largest withdrawals with roughly $1.0 billion in outflows, while ether products shed about $440 million. Investor exits were concentrated in the U.S., Sweden, and Switzerland, but Germany and Canada posted modest inflows.

James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, said flows were volatile through the week. After nearly $2 billion in early redemptions, capital movements stabilized and funds drew about $594 million of net inflows following Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole remarks.

The Block reported a surge in crypto prices last week as Powell hinted at potential rate cuts, while also noting potential downside risks from aggressive tariff tactics from President Trump. Despite the initial setback during the week, CoinShares noted that month-to-date tallies still show about $2.5 billion of net inflows to ether products versus an estimated $1.0 billion of net outflows from bitcoin vehicles.

“Sentiment shifted later in the week following Jerome Powell’s address at the Jackson Hole Symposium, which was widely interpreted as more dovish than expected, sparking inflows of US$594m,” Butterfill wrote on Monday. The report adds to evidence that crypto flows remain highly sensitive to macro signals and positioning in listed derivatives, with larger-cap assets bearing the brunt when volatility picks up.

Altcoins showed mixed performance once again. XRP captured about $25 million, Solana drew in approximately $12 million, and Cronos saw an estimated $4.4 million inflow, while Sui and Toncoin saw outflows of about $12.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
