CoinShares reported that crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) posted $454 million in outflows last week, following a four-day withdrawal run that nearly erased roughly $1.5 billion of inflows recorded during the first two trading days of 2026. The firm cited investor concern about fading prospects for a Federal Reserve rate cut in March as a key driver of sentiment.
“This turnaround in sentiment appears to stem mainly from investor worries over the diminishing prospects of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in March following recent macro data releases,” said James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares. Despite last week’s withdrawals, month-to-date flows remained positive at $229 million after $582 million of inflows the prior week.
Bitcoin led the negative flows with $404 million in outflows, while short-BTC funds saw modest withdrawals of $9 million, leaving mixed overall sentiment for the asset. Ether funds recorded $116 million in outflows, and multi-asset altcoin products posted combined outflows of $21 million.
Some altcoins continued to attract capital: XRP funds drew about $46 million, Solana funds about $33 million, and Sui funds about $8 million in inflows. Geographically, the United States was the only market with major losses, posting $569 million of outflows.
By contrast, Germany, Canada and Switzerland posted inflows of roughly $59 million, $25 million and $21 million, respectively. Crypto ETP issuers held $181.9 billion in assets under management at the end of the week, up slightly from $181.3 billion the prior week.
BlackRock’s iShares products and Profunds Group led inflows with $181 million and $180 million, respectively, while Fidelity Investments and Grayscale Investments recorded outflows of $454 million and $360 million.
