Hey crypto fam! Let’s talk about what’s shaking up the crypto markets this week — and spoiler alert — it’s a big one. According to the latest data from CoinShares, a whopping $795 million flowed out of crypto investment funds last week alone. Yeah, you read that right.
So what’s causing this crypto cold shower? Let’s break it down.
Last week marked the second straight week of heavy outflows from global crypto funds. The main trigger? Ongoing tariff tensions involving former President Donald Trump. These tariffs are putting pressure on global trade, and investors are feeling the heat — especially those dabbling in digital assets.
Total outflows since early February have now hit $7.2 billion, which pretty much cancels out the gains we saw earlier this year. So far, 2025 inflows stand at a tiny $165 million. Talk about a mood swing!
If you’re wondering where most of the money is being pulled from — it’s the U.S. Big time.
- $763 million was withdrawn by American investors last week alone.
- Meanwhile, other countries like Canada, Brazil, and Australia actually saw small inflows totaling $2.7 million.
So while the U.S. is heading for the exits, a few others are cautiously stepping in.
When it comes to which cryptocurrencies are getting hit hardest:
- Bitcoin saw outflows of $751 million last week — yikes!
- However, for the year, Bitcoin is still up with $545 million in inflows overall. So it’s not all doom and gloom.
Most of the outflows came from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, which lost $707.9 million last week. And guess what? These ETFs had negative flows every single day.
Bitcoin wasn’t the only one affected. Here’s a quick snapshot:
- Ethereum: Outflows of $37.6 million, mostly from U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs.
- Solana, Aave, and Sui: Also saw small outflows.
