Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin continued attracting investor interest even as Bitcoin and Ethereum faced intense institutional selling pressure.
According to CoinShares, digital asset investment products recorded $1.07 billion in outflows last week, marking the first negative week after seven consecutive weeks of inflows.
The latest figure also represented the third largest weekly outflow recorded in 2026.
Bitcoin accounted for most of the selling activity as investors shifted toward a broader risk off strategy amid renewed geopolitical tensions involving Iran.
However, market sentiment showed signs of stabilization toward the end of the week following developments surrounding the CLARITY Act.
Despite the overall market weakness, CoinShares reported that 11 digital assets still attracted positive inflows, while Thursday alone generated $174 million in fresh investment.
XRP and Solana Continue to Attract Capital
Bitcoin experienced $982 million in outflows last week, reducing its year to date inflows to $3.9 billion.
Ethereum also came under significant pressure, recording $249 million in withdrawals in what became its largest weekly outflow since January 30.
Blockchain related equity ETFs were similarly affected, posting a combined decline of $133 million as broader market caution intensified.
In contrast, several altcoins continued drawing investor demand.
XRP led the inflows with $67.6 million, followed by Solana with $55.1 million.
Toncoin attracted $7.7 million, while Sui brought in $4.7 million. Ondo recorded $4.1 million in inflows, Chainlink added $3.9 million, and Dogecoin saw $3.2 million enter the market.
CoinShares noted that investors are increasingly seeking selective exposure outside of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
US Led the Bulk of Outflows
The latest wave of crypto fund withdrawals was driven primarily by the United States, where investors pulled approximately $1.14 billion from digital asset products last week.
European markets proved more resilient.
Switzerland recorded $22.8 million in inflows, while Germany added $22 million. The Netherlands attracted another $7.5 million.
Sweden stood out as the only European market to post losses, with outflows totaling $4 million.
Elsewhere, Canada brought in $12.6 million in fresh investments, while Australia added $4.4 million.
Analysts Warn Pressure Could Persist
Meanwhile, Singapore based trading firm QCP Capital warned that Bitcoin may remain under pressure after breaking below the key $78,000 support level earlier today.
The firm stated that the expiration of more than $4 billion in IBIT options reduced the stabilizing effect that had previously helped Bitcoin trade within a relatively narrow range.
QCP also pointed to worsening macroeconomic conditions, including rising US Treasury yields and the USD/JPY pair moving closer to the 160 level.
Analysts warned that intervention risks at those levels could trigger a sharp unwind of yen carry trades and remove an important source of global liquidity that has historically supported risk assets such as cryptocurrencies.
According to QCP, crypto markets are likely to remain range bound unless investors see meaningful progress in either US China trade negotiations or US Iran diplomatic talks.#crypto#cryptonews https://coinsignals.net https://t.me/coinsignalpublic
