Latest NewsPublishedMay 26, 2026Crypto ETPs logged $1.47 billion of outflows last week as Bitcoin funds led losses, while nine altcoin ETPs still attracted inflows of more than $1 million.
Crypto investment products recorded $1.47 billion in outflows last week, extending a second straight week of withdrawals as Bitcoin funds led the decline, according to CoinShares.
Crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) extended the prior week’s $1.07 billion in withdrawals, CoinShares reported Tuesday.
Bitcoin products accounted for roughly $1.3 billion of the outflows, their largest weekly withdrawal of 2026, while Ether funds lost $223 million, the asset manager said.
Total assets under management in crypto ETPs stood at around $148.7 billion, with Bitcoin funds accounting for 80% with $120.2 billion.
CoinShares head of research James Butterfill said the selling reflected deepening Iran-related risk-off sentiment despite continued progress on the CLARITY Act.
Nine assets post inflows above $1 million
Altcoin ETPs still recorded notable gains despite the broader downturn, with at least nine assets seeing inflows above $1 million, Butterfill said.
XRP (XRP) led altcoin inflows with $31.8 million, while Solana (SOL) followed with $7.7 million.
Separately, data from SoSoValue showed Hyperliquid (HYPE) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded $72.3 million in inflows.

Smaller inflows were also recorded in Sui (SUI) and Chainlink (LINK), at $600,000 and $400,000, respectively. Short Bitcoin products added $10.2 million, aligning with broader risk-off sentiment.
