Crypto Investment Products See $1.47 Billion in Outflows as Risk Appetite Weakens

Global cryptocurrency investment products recorded $1.47 billion in outflows last week, marking the second consecutive week of withdrawals and the third-largest weekly outflow of 2026.

Bitcoin products accounted for most of the redemptions, with $1.32 billion in outflows. That made it the worst week of the year for bitcoin funds, according to the research summary citing CoinShares coverage by The Block.

The withdrawals were linked to Iran-related risk-off sentiment, which spread across virtually every region and weighed on the broader cryptocurrency market.

The scale of the outflows showed how geopolitical tensions continued to affect risk assets beyond traditional equity and commodity markets, with crypto exchange-traded products also coming under pressure.
