Bitcoin Bleeds $1.31B in Worst Weekly Outflow of 2026!

CoinShares reported $1.47 billion in outflows from digital asset investment products last week — the third-largest weekly outflow of 2026 — as risk-off sentiment swept through institutional crypto allocations. Bitcoin bore the brunt, shedding $1.315 billion in a single week, its largest weekly outflow of the year. Ethereum was not spared either, recording $223 million in outflows over the same period.

CoinShares attributed the selling pressure to intensifying geopolitical tensions tied to Iran, with the risk-off wave spreading well beyond U.S.-domiciled funds. Switzerland, Canada, and Hong Kong all saw meaningful outflows, signalling that the retreat is a coordinated global de-risking move rather than a region-specific rotation.

The breadth of the outflows — spanning multiple asset classes, geographies, and product types — is the detail that stands out.
