Investors withdrew $187 million from digital asset products last week, though the pace of outflows has slowed significantly, suggesting that panic selling may be subsiding. CoinShares noted that this deceleration could indicate the market is stabilizing and that a potential low point in crypto prices might be forming. Total assets under management fell to $129.8 billion, the lowest level since the announcement of US tariffs in March 2025, which had coincided with a local low in asset prices. Trading activity surged, driving exchange-traded product volumes to a record $63.1 billion, surpassing the previous high of $56.4 billion recorded in October of the previous year, highlighting strong investor interest and momentum.
Bitcoin continued to face outflows, losing $264 million, along with $11.6 million moving out of short positions. In contrast, altcoins attracted new capital, with XRP leading the way with $63.1 million last week, boosting its year-to-date inflows to $109 million. Solana added $8.2 million, Ethereum $5.3 million, and Chainlink and Litecoin saw more modest gains of $1.5 million and $1 million, respectively. Multi-asset products also recorded inflows of $9.3 million over the past week.
Geographically, outflows were concentrated in the US at $214 million, Sweden at $135 million, and Australia at $1.2 million. Meanwhile, other regions posted meaningful inflows, including Germany with $87.1 million, Switzerland $30.1 million, Canada $21.4 million, Brazil $16.7 million, and Hong Kong $6.8 million, reflecting a mixed global picture.
Macro and ETF trends continue to shape the outlook. Bitcoin slipped to $69,000 on Sunday and has hovered near that level into Monday, yet analysts remain optimistic about its long-term trajectory. Bitget CMO Ignacio Aguirre Franco suggested that BTC could reach $150,000 to $180,000 this year if ETF flows stabilize and macro conditions improve. He also highlighted Ethereum’s strong outlook, supported by Layer 2 development, growing DeFi activity, and increased traditional finance participation, with potential price targets of $5,000 to $6,000.
Franco added that regulatory clarity, such as the recent Clarity Bill and ongoing market-structure legislation, will benefit crypto markets by reducing uncertainty and making these assets more attractive to institutional investors and traditional funds. As regulatory frameworks align globally, institutional capital will have easier entry points, strengthening market stability, fostering innovation, and supporting long-term growth across the crypto sector.
