Last week investors pulled $1.67 billion from digital asset investment products, marking the second-largest outflow of 2026. The data, published Monday by CoinShares, shows the market's continued unease — but not everyone is heading for the exits.
Bitcoin leads the exodus
Bitcoin funds experienced their largest weekly outflow of the year during that same period. The move dragged the overall digital asset investment product tally deep into the red. It's the kind of number that catches attention, especially after a relatively calm first half of the year.
XRP and HYPE buck the trend
Not all products saw redemptions. XRP and HYPE investment products attracted notable inflows even as the broader market bled. The contrast is sharp: while Bitcoin investors appear to be de-risking, a smaller set of traders is betting on specific altcoins. CoinShares didn't specify dollar amounts for the inflows, but the directional data is clear.
What the report shows
The CoinShares report covers a week that ended last Friday. The $1.67 billion outflow is second only to another week earlier in 2026 — a reminder that sentiment can shift fast. The numbers don't explain why investors moved, but the split between Bitcoin and altcoin products is worth noting. It suggests some rotation, not just a blanket sell-off.
For now, the macro picture is cautious. Whether the rotation continues or broadens will depend on factors well beyond the CoinShares data — but for this week, the story is the scale of the outflow and the handful of tokens that swam against it.
