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.

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
