Bitcoin products bore the brunt with <strong>$982 million<\/strong> in outflows, while ethereum funds shed <strong>$249 million<\/strong> \u2014 their largest single-week withdrawal since January 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the headline figure, the data revealed a clear rotation rather than an indiscriminate exit. <strong>XRP<\/strong> products attracted <strong>$67.6 million<\/strong> in fresh capital and <strong>SOL<\/strong> funds pulled in <strong>$55.1 million<\/strong>, with smaller positive flows recorded for TON, dogecoin and Chainlink. Eleven assets finished the week in positive territory, <em>according to CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The withdrawals were overwhelmingly an American story. U.S.-listed products accounted for <strong>$1.14 billion<\/strong> in net outflows, exceeding the global total because Europe and Canada were net buyers. Switzerland added <strong>$22.8 million<\/strong>, Germany <strong>$22 million<\/strong>, the Netherlands <strong>$7.5 million<\/strong> and Canada <strong>$12.6 million<\/strong> \u2014 a regional divergence that has become a recurring theme this year. CoinShares attributed the bitcoin-led selling primarily to renewed geopolitical anxiety tied to Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The institutional repositioning was reinforced by a Q1 2026 13F filing from Goldman Sachs, which showed the bank had fully exited its <strong>XRP<\/strong> and <strong>SOL<\/strong> spot ETF positions and cut <strong>ETH<\/strong> ETF exposure by roughly 70%, while maintaining about <strong>$690 million<\/strong> in <strong>BTC<\/strong> ETF holdings. The bank appears to be rotating from direct token exposure into crypto-linked equities such as Circle, Galaxy Digital and Coinbase. <em>Per AMBCrypto&#8217;s review of the filing<\/em>, similar reductions were visible at Harvard, Jane Street and Emory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Total assets under management for crypto ETPs slipped from <strong>$159 billion<\/strong> to <strong>$157 billion<\/strong> on the week, with <strong>BTC<\/strong> trading near <strong>$76,800<\/strong> at the time of publication after shedding roughly <strong>$5,000<\/strong> in days. Year-to-date inflows for bitcoin funds remain positive at <strong>$3.9 billion<\/strong>, but the cushion has thinned. The question for coming weeks is whether U.S. outflows moderate or accelerate \u2014 and whether the altcoin rotation proves structural or a brief divergence before broader risk-off pressure returns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Digital asset investment products recorded $1.07 billion in net outflows last week, ending a six-week winning streak and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":163,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-market"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=373"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":374,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373\/revisions\/374"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
