Digital-asset ETPs post $1.47B weekly outflow; Bitcoin sees 2026's largest weekly redemption at $1.315B

May 26 — CoinShares said digital-asset investment products logged $1.47 billion in net outflows last week, marking a second straight week of redemptions and the third-largest weekly outflow of 2026. Total withdrawals over the past two weeks reached $2.54 billion. Bitcoin led the selling with $1.315 billion in outflows, its biggest weekly redemption in 2026. Year-to-date net inflows for Bitcoin fell to $2.6 billion from $3.9 billion. Ethereum saw $223 million in outflows, broadly unchanged from the prior week. Select altcoins still attracted modest inflows: XRP took in $31.8 million, NEAR $9 million, and Solana $7.7 million. Regionally, the U.S. accounted for $1.425 billion of outflows. Switzerland, Canada, and Hong Kong posted outflows of $16.2 million, $12.5 million, and $12.2 million, respectively. CoinShares said risk-off positioning, which had been more localized a week earlier, has now spread across most regions. The firm linked the redemptions to rising geopolitical risks tied to Iran, adding that market risk aversion continues to build even as the CLARITY Act advances through the legislative process.
