Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin continued attracting investor interest even as Bitcoin and Ethereum faced intense institutional selling pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to CoinShares<\/a>, digital asset investment products recorded $1.07 billion in outflows last week, marking the first negative week after seven consecutive weeks of inflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest figure also represented the third largest weekly outflow recorded in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin accounted for most of the selling activity as investors shifted toward a broader risk off strategy amid renewed geopolitical tensions involving Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, market sentiment showed signs of stabilization toward the end of the week following developments surrounding the CLARITY Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the overall market weakness, CoinShares reported that 11 digital assets still attracted positive inflows, while Thursday alone generated $174 million in fresh investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

XRP and Solana Continue to Attract Capital<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin experienced $982 million in outflows last week, reducing its year to date inflows to $3.9 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethereum also came under significant pressure, recording $249 million in withdrawals in what became its largest weekly outflow since January 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blockchain related equity ETFs were similarly affected, posting a combined decline of $133 million as broader market caution intensified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, several altcoins continued drawing investor demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

XRP led the inflows with $67.6 million, followed by Solana with $55.1 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CoinShares noted that investors are increasingly seeking selective exposure outside of Bitcoin and Ethereum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Led the Bulk of Outflows<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

European markets proved more resilient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switzerland recorded $22.8 million in inflows, while Germany added $22 million. The Netherlands attracted another $7.5 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweden stood out as the only European market to post losses, with outflows totaling $4 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, Canada brought in $12.6 million in fresh investments, while Australia added $4.4 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysts Warn Pressure Could Persist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Singapore based trading firm QCP Capital<\/a> warned that Bitcoin may remain under pressure after breaking below the key $78,000 support level earlier today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

QCP also pointed to worsening macroeconomic conditions, including rising US Treasury yields and the USD\/JPY pair moving closer to the 160 level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/a> https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
