Crypto sell-off pushes investment products outflows to $4.9B over 4 weeks

Digital asset investment products recorded their fourth consecutive week of heavy redemptions, with investors pulling out a combined $1.94 billion in the five days ending last Friday. 

The latest withdrawals, coming amid intensified crypto sell-off, have pushed the rolling four-week outflows total to nearly $5 billion. 

Per the latest report outlining the global cryptocurrency exchange-traded outflows, this capital exit marks one of the most severe outflow streaks in the sector’s history.

Bitcoin, as has happened over recent months, led the weekly outflows.

Crypto outflows have hit $4.9 billion in four weeks

According to the latest Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly report from CoinShares, the market saw over $1.94 billion exit digital asset investment products last week.

CoinShares head of research James Butterfill said the outflows account for one of the biggest so far.

Cumulatively, the past four weeks have seen outflows jump to $4.92 billion, equivalent to 2.9% of total assets under management.

“Proportionally this represents the 3rd largest run of outflows since 2018, beaten only by March 2025 and February 2018,” Butterfill noted.

The sustained withdrawals have coincided with a steep correction in cryptocurrency prices.

Although digital asset investment products saw outflows of $1.94 billion, the total was slightly below the $2 billion seen in the previous week.

“We believe the combination of monetary policy uncertainty and crypto-native whale sellers are the main reasons for this most recent negative funk,” Butterfill said at the time.

Bitcoin leads outflows

Recent weeks have seen a surge in net outflows, with Bitcoin-focused products bearing the brunt of the exodus.

BTC ETF products registered a total of $1.27 billion in outflows for the week. 

Nevertheless, Bitcoin also led the slight uptick on November 21, 2025, with inflows of $225 million. 

Elsewhere, Ethereum products suffered outflows of $589 million. Like Bitcoin, however, Ethereum saw a partial rebound on Friday, with $57.5 million flowing back into ETH-focused funds.

Among major altcoins, Solana recorded outflows of $156 million.

In contrast, XRP products bucked the broader trend, attracting $89.3 million in inflows. The launch of spot XRP ETFs in the week helped.

BTC price sell-off

Bitcoin, which briefly dipped to the psychologically important $80,000 level last week, led the sell-off.

The top coin currently trades around $85k, but the combined effect of BTC’s dip and overall risk asset market weakness means redemptions could intensify further.

Notably, the negative price movement has driven a 36% decline in total AUM over the past month.

However, despite the recent pain, the broader picture remains robust.

Year-to-date inflows into digital asset investment products remain a significant $44.4 billion.
