Crypto fund withdrawals deepened last week as investors pulled $1.67 billion from digital asset products. The move marked the third straight week of outflows and the second-largest weekly exit of 2026. Bitcoin led the sell-off with $1.44 billion in withdrawals, while Ethereum also recorded heavy losses, according to figures cited from CoinShares.

Bitcoin Leads Broad Crypto Fund Withdrawals

Digital asset investment products saw $1.67 billion in net outflows last week. The figure marked the third week of withdrawals in a row. It was also the second-largest weekly outflow of 2026, behind only the week of January 23. Bitcoin accounted for most of the weekly withdrawals. 

Funds tied to the largest cryptocurrency lost $1.44 billion. That was the largest weekly Bitcoin outflow reported in 2026. It also exceeded the prior weekly record and the January peak. The recent withdrawals reduced Bitcoin’s year-to-date inflows. Bitcoin products now show $1.2 billion in inflows for 2026. 

That compares with $2.6 billion one week earlier and $3.9 billion two weeks earlier. Ethereum also came under pressure during the same period. Investment products linked to Ether posted $257 million in outflows. The combined losses in Bitcoin and Ethereum made up nearly all weekly withdrawals.

US Products Drive Most Regional Exits

The United States accounted for the largest share of global outflows. US-listed digital asset products recorded $1.63 billion in withdrawals. This showed that most of the selling pressure came from the largest market for crypto investment products.

Germany also moved into negative territory during the week. German products posted $25.7 million in outflows after holding up during earlier risk-off periods. Sweden saw $6.6 million leave products, while Hong Kong recorded $4.5 million in withdrawals. CoinShares said global digital asset products posted “US$1.67bn” in outflows. 

The firm also said the result marked the “third consecutive negative week.” Three-week cumulative outflows reached $4.21 billion. Assets under management also declined during the period. Total assets fell to $141 billion from $148 billion one week earlier. That marked the lowest level since early April, based on the reported figures.

Selected Altcoins Still Record Inflows

Altcoin activity weakened during the week, and only a few assets attracted fresh money. XRP led the group with $20.3 million in inflows. Hyperliquid followed with $10.8 million, while NEAR drew $7.6 million. Only five assets recorded inflows above $1 million. That was down from nine assets one week earlier. 

The decline showed narrower participation across altcoin investment products. The latest fund flow data points to a clear shift in investor positioning. Large funds reduced exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum products, while some capital moved into selected smaller assets. 

However, the overall weekly figure remained negative. The three-week outflow trend came during a period of weaker risk appetite. The provided report linked the move to Iran-related risk concerns and reduced support from CLARITY Act progress. Crypto funds have now faced sustained withdrawals, with Bitcoin posting the largest weekly exit of 2026.
