Crypto ETPs Experience Third Consecutive Week of Outflows Amid Market Stabilization
Crypto investment products experienced a third consecutive week of net outflows, though the pace of selling slowed significantly amid stabilizing digital asset prices following a recent sharp decline. Over the past week, crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) saw withdrawals totaling approximately $187 million, a notable decrease compared to the $3.43 billion that exited during the previous fortnight.
The reduced outflows occurred as Bitcoin declined to its lowest level since November 2024, with the token approaching the $60,000 level on Coinbase last Thursday. Market analysts suggest that, while trading flows generally correlate with asset prices, shifts in the pace of outflows can serve as more reliable indicators of underlying investor sentiment, potentially signaling turning points in market dynamics.
In terms of asset performance, Bitcoin investment products bore the brunt of last week’s losses, with outflows reaching $264.4 million. Conversely, XRP funds experienced notable inflows, attracting approximately $63 million. Other altcoin-focused ETPs, such as those tracking Ether and Solana, saw modest capital inflows of $5.3 million and $8.2 million, respectively. Data indicates that a large fraction of Bitcoin ETP outflows, roughly $318 million, were attributed to spot Bitcoin ETFs, highlighting shifts within various segments of the market.
Trading activity also reached new heights, with weekly volumes hitting a record $63.1 billion — a significant increase from previous levels. Despite the easing of outflows, assets under management (AUM) in Bitcoin ETPs remained substantial at around $102.7 billion by week’s end. Meanwhile, the total global crypto ETP AUM declined to roughly $129 billion, marking the lowest level since March 2025.
Over the past year, crypto ETPs have seen a net outflow of approximately $1.2 billion, following three consecutive weeks of withdrawals. This contrasts with Bitcoin ETFs, which have experienced slightly higher outflows totaling about $1.9 billion. Recent industry developments include the filing by 21Shares of an ETF proposed to track Ondo, signifying ongoing activity in the sector despite recent market pressures.
