Crypto ETPs faced $1.47B in outflows, led by $1.3B from Bitcoin funds. Altcoins like XRP saw $31.8M in inflows, countering broader risk-off trends.<\/p>\n

Crypto<\/a> exchange-traded products (ETPs) saw a staggering $1.47 billion in outflows last week, marking the second consecutive week of significant withdrawals, according to CoinShares. Bitcoin<\/a> (BTC) funds bore the brunt, accounting for $1.3 billion in outflows\u2014its largest weekly loss of 2026. Ether (ETH) funds also posted $223 million in redemptions. This brings total assets under management (AUM) in crypto ETPs to $148.7 billion, with Bitcoin products dominating at $120.2 billion.<\/p>\n

James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, attributed the selling to deepening global risk-off sentiment, reportedly driven by geopolitical concerns such as Iran-related tensions, despite regulatory progress around the U.S. CLARITY Act.<\/p>\n

Altcoins Buck the Trend<\/h2>\n

Not all crypto products followed Bitcoin\u2019s downward trajectory. XRP (XRP) led altcoin inflows with $31.8 million, while Solana (SOL) added $7.7 million. Smaller inflows were recorded for Sui (SUI) and Chainlink (LINK), at $600,000 and $400,000, respectively. Short Bitcoin products, which benefit from bearish bets, saw $10.2 million in inflows, aligning with the broader cautious market tone.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Hyperliquid (HYPE) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded $72.3 million in inflows, reflecting some investor appetite for niche crypto assets even amid widespread outflows.<\/p>\n

U.S. Leads Global Outflows<\/h2>\n

Geographically, the United States led the exodus, with $1.43 billion in outflows, including $1.26 billion from U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs, according to data from SoSoValue. Other regions followed suit, with Switzerland seeing $16.2 million in outflows, Canada $12.5 million, and Hong Kong $12.2 million. Germany also reported $4.4 million in withdrawals.<\/p>\n

In contrast, the Netherlands and Australia managed to buck the trend with inflows of $6.6 million and $700,000, respectively.<\/p>\n

Broader Market Context<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s recent price action underscores the cooling sentiment. As of May 26, BTC is trading at $77,363, down 2% in the past 24 hours, with a market cap of $1.53 trillion. Over the last week, the cryptocurrency has struggled to break past the $78,000\u2013$80,000 resistance zone, reflecting muted demand after a brief rally above $80,000 earlier this month. Institutional selling, including a $1.5 billion Bitcoin liquidation by miner Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) on May 12, has contributed to this consolidation.<\/p>\n

The broader risk-off environment, combined with declining U.S. ETF inflows, has weighed on market sentiment. April saw strong inflows of $2.44 billion into U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs, but May’s data suggests a reversal of that trend. Despite this, exchange reserves remain near decade lows, indicating constrained available supply, which could provide support for prices in the medium term.<\/p>\n

What to Watch<\/h2>\n

Looking ahead, market participants will be closely monitoring macroeconomic developments and regulatory clarity, particularly around U.S. crypto legislation. Bitcoin’s ability to hold above its support levels near $76,000 will be critical as traders assess whether the current risk-off sentiment deepens or stabilizes.<\/p>\n
