Crypto Funds Bleed $173M As XRP and Solana Attract Investments

• 
  Digital assets products saw a $173 million outflow, marking the fourth consecutive week.
  
• 
  US investors led the withdrawals with 403M dollars, while Europe and Canada rotated in capital.
  
• 
  XRP, Solana and other high-performance networks attracted selective inflows.
  

Digital asset investment products have recorded net redemptions for the fourth consecutive week, underscoring the caution of institutional investors. According to CoinShares latest weekly report, outflows totaled $173 million. This brings the four-week total up to $3.74 billion.

Although the week began with strong inflows of capital, selling pressure returned quickly as prices fell. The sentiment in the United States has deteriorated, while certain altcoins have attracted new capital.

US leads outflows while Europe shows strength

Regional data showed a clear divergence of investor positioning. The United States reported a $403 million outflow, reflecting the continued uncertainty surrounding macro conditions and price volatility.

Other regions, however, moved in the opposite directions. Germany led the global inflows, with $115 millions, signaling a steady institutional appetite.

Canada also attracted $46.3 millions in inflows while Switzerland added $36.6 million. These flows indicate that European and Canadian investors have taken advantage of lower prices. Capital rotation outside of the United States offset some of the broader weakness.

ETP trading also slowed during the week. Volumes fell sharply from $63 billion the previous week to $27 billion. The drop in volumes is a sign of reduced speculative activities and tighter positioning on the markets.

Bitcoins and Ethereum face selling pressure

Bitcoin recorded the largest outflows of all major assets. Investors pulled $133 million out of their accounts as sentiment continued to deteriorate. In the past two week, redemptions of short Bitcoin products totaled $15.4 million. This pattern is often seen near market turning points.

Ethereum took a similar course, with $85.1 millions leaving investment products. Hyperliquid also saw modest outflows, with $1 million. These movements show a broad reduction in risk across digital assets with large capitalizations.

XRP & Solana Draw Selective Investment

Despite the overall caution, some altcoins have shown resilience. XRP saw $33.4 million of inflows over the course of the week. Solana also recorded new investments of $31 million, indicating a sustained interest in high performance networks.

Chainlink also recorded $1.1 million of inflows, indicating continued confidence in the decentralized oracle. These selective inflows show that investors are still looking for projects with strong ecosystem narratives.

The week ended on a slightly better note, after softer inflation figures boosted risk appetite. Only Friday brought inflows of $105 million. The broader trend is still defensive. As macro signals change, it appears that market participants are balancing caution with opportunities.
