Investors pulled $1.07 billion from crypto products last week, halting a six-week inflow streak amid rising geopolitical tensions.
Crypto investment products recorded $1.07 billion in outflows last week, ending a six-week streak of inflows and marking the third-largest weekly withdrawal of 2026. The reversal was driven by renewed geopolitical anxiety linked to Iran, which weighed on broader risk assets and triggered a flight from major cryptocurrencies.
Total assets under management fell to $157 billion from $159 billion the prior week. U.S.-listed products bore the brunt of the outflows, accounting for $1.14 billion, while European investors remained relatively steady. Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands saw modest inflows of $22.8 million, $22.0 million, and $7.5 million, respectively, alongside $12.6 million in Canada.
Bitcoin led the declines with $982 million in outflows, reducing its year-to-date inflow total to $3.9 billion. Ethereum followed with $249 million in withdrawals, its worst weekly performance since late January. In contrast, altcoins like XRP and Solana attracted $67.6 million and $55.1 million in fresh investment, signaling a rotation into smaller tokens.
