Crypto: Crypto Funds Lose $288m As Etps Extend Outflow Run To Five Weeks

Crypto investment products posted outflows for a fifth straight week, marking the longest exit streak since the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024.

Crypto investment products recorded $288 million in outflows last week, extending their losing streak to five consecutive weeks — the longest stretch of exits since the launch of US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in 2024.

The latest withdrawals bring cumulative outflows to $4 billion, according to CoinShares’ Monday report. Despite the sustained downturn, total outflows remain below the $6 billion recorded over the same period last year, said James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares.

Trading activity in crypto ETPs fell to $17 billion last week, the lowest since July 2025, reflecting growing investor apathy, Butterfill said.

Bitcoin (BTC) remained the key driver of negative sentiment in crypto funds, accounting for $215 million of last week’s outflows.

In contrast, short-Bitcoin products attracted $5.5 million in inflows — the largest of any crypto asset — signaling persistent bearish sentiment. Year to date, Bitcoin ETPs have recorded the deepest net outflows among major assets, totaling about $1.3 billion.

Ether (ETH) funds followed the trend with outflows of $36.5 million, bringing year-to-date losses to almost $500 million. XRP (XRP) and Solana (SOL) funds saw minor inflows totaling $3.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

CoinShares paired the weak flows backdrop with a pricing move aimed at making its products more competitive.

On Monday, the company announced a permanent cut to the management fee on its flagship CoinShares Bitcoin ETP (BITC), lowering it to 0.15%, effective immediately. One of Europe’s largest Bitcoin ETPs, BITC, launched in January 2021 with a base fee of 0.98%.
