Crypto Products Recorded Net Outflow of $1.7B Last Week

Crypto investment products recorded another heavy week of outflows, according to CoinShares’ latest weekly report dated Feb. 2. These funds recorded $1.7 billion in withdrawals last week and pushed year to date net outflows to $1 billion.

CoinShares revealed that assets under management (AUM) for crypto investment products have dropped by $73 billion from their peak in October 2025.

Outflows were mostly concentrated in the United States, which accounted for $1.65 billion of the total. Most major asset classes posted negative flows during the week, led by Bitcoin products.

Bitcoin ETFs see Major Withdrawals

CoinShares data shows Bitcoin BTC $77 806 24h volatility: 0.8% Market cap: $1.56 T Vol. 24h: $86.10 B investment vehicles recorded $1.32 billion in outflows last week. During this time, US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs were the primary source of selling, with $1.48 billion in outflows.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading below the average cost basis of US spot Bitcoin ETFs. Data shows that US Bitcoin ETF products hold around 1.28 million BTC with a total AUM of about $113 billion.

This implies an average buying price of $87,830 per Bitcoin. BTC prices have moved well below that level following a recent sharp selloff.

Altcoins Weaken as Macro Pressure Builds

The broader digital asset market also declined as the total crypto market cap shrank by $400 billion over the past week.

Ethereum ETH $2 313 24h volatility: 3.2% Market cap: $279.29 B Vol. 24h: $59.03 B products faced $308 million in outflows last week, according to CoinShares. Assets that had attracted strong interest earlier in the cycle, including XRP XRP $1.64 24h volatility: 0.0% Market cap: $99.79 B Vol. 24h: $5.59 B and Solana SOL $103.2 24h volatility: 1.9% Market cap: $58.46 B Vol. 24h: $9.00 B , also faced struggles. XRP products saw $43.7 million in outflows, while Solana products lost $31.7 million.

One area that recorded inflows against the broader trend was short Bitcoin products with $14.5 million in inflows. Their AUM is up 8.1% year to date amid rising demand for downside exposure.

Meanwhile, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index dropped into extreme fear as the new week started.

Raoul Pal, founder and CEO of Global Macro Investor, recently argued that the ongoing selloff is due to a shortage of US liquidity rather than a structural market issue.

Pal pointed to temporary liquidity drains related to two government shutdowns and ongoing problems in US funding markets.

Some market participants now expect fewer and slower interest rate cuts under new Fed chair Kevin Warsh, given his firm stance on inflation and quantitative easing.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
