Crypto investment products extended losses to three straight weeks last week amid ongoing selling pressure in markets and limited institutional demand.<\/p>\n
Crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded $1.67 billion in outflows last week, the second-largest weekly withdrawal of 2026, CoinShares reported<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n The fresh outflows bring three-week losses to $4.21 billion, with total assets under management dropping to $141 billion, the lowest level since early April.<\/p>\n CoinShares head of research James Butterfill attributed surging outflows to an Iran-related risk-off move that has now overwhelmed any cushioning effect from CLARITY Act<\/a> progress. \u201cThe pattern is reminiscent of the January-February episode that delivered five consecutive negative weeks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Bitcoin (BTC) ETPs led weekly outflows by a wide margin, with $1.44 billion leaving the funds, marking the largest weekly outflow so far this year.<\/p>\n The funds were $2.4 billion down month-to-date but still had about $1.2 billion in inflows year-to-date, while assets under management fell to $114.6 billion.<\/p>\n Crypto ETP flows by asset (in millions of US dollars).

The Netherlands again was the only country to see inflows above $1 million, with $1.3 million in inflows, down from $6.6 million a week prior.<\/p>\n Crypto ETP flows by country (in millions of US dollars).
