Crypto investment products shed $1.07 billion last week, according to CoinShares, ending a six-week streak of net inflows. The bulk of the move was concentrated in Bitcoin, which saw $982 million in outflows, with Ethereum losing a further $249 million.
The selloff cut against XRP and Solana, which continued to attract capital — $67.6 million and $55.1 million in inflows respectively — even as the majors de-risked. CoinShares attributed the weekly swing to renewed risk-off sentiment tied to Iran-related geopolitical escalation.
Why it matters
A six-week inflow streak is the kind of run that builds positioning, and a single-week reversal of that size is a stress test for late-cycle flow conviction. The split between majors and selected alts is the more interesting read: Bitcoin and Ethereum absorbed the risk-off unwind while XRP and Solana kept taking money, suggesting the rotation is theme-driven rather than a blanket de-grossing.
Market impact
The flow data lands alongside the kind of macro shock — oil, FX, rates — that tends to hit crypto through the rates channel as much as the risk channel. Watch whether the outflows extend into a second week; a one-week flush on a geopolitical headline is mechanical, but a second consecutive week of redemptions would mark a real change in allocator posture after the longest inflow run of the year.
