Crypto Funds Suffer Record-Breaking Five-Week Outflow Streak

The crypto funds sector has experienced its fifth consecutive week of outflows, totaling approximately $4 billion in the past five weeks. According to a new CoinShares report, this trend suggests that institutional appetite for cryptocurrency exposure may be cooling structurally or pausing until macro signals turn decisively positive.

Regional divergence remains pronounced, with international investors divided on whether recent price weakness is a buying opportunity. The U.S. accounted for $347 million in outflows, while Europe and Canada recorded $59 million in inflows. Switzerland, Canada, and Germany led the dip-buying with significant inflows of $19.5 million, $16.8 million, and $16.2 million, respectively.

Bitcoin drove the bulk of the negative sentiment, suffering $215 million in outflows last week—a trend that has persisted through previous weeks. Short-Bitcoin investment products saw renewed interest with $5.5 million in inflows—the largest of any asset—signaling that some traders are positioning for further downside.
