- Crypto investment products saw $288 million in outflows last week, marking the fifth straight week of withdrawals.
- Bitcoin funds led the outflows with $215 million, while short-Bitcoin products attracted $5.5 million in inflows.
- CoinShares cut the management fee on its flagship Bitcoin ETP to 0.15% amid weak investor interest.
- US spot Bitcoin ETF volumes showed signs of life on Friday, rising to $3.7 billion with a small daily inflow.
Crypto investment vehicles faced a fifth consecutive week of outflows, with investors pulling $288 million last week in the longest withdrawal streak since US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds launched in 2024. The latest exits bring cumulative outflows to $4 billion, according to a Monday report from CoinShares.
Trading activity in crypto exchange-traded products also slumped to $17 billion, the lowest level since July 2025. This reflects growing investor apathy, said James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares.
Bitcoin products were the primary driver, accounting for $215 million of the week’s outflows. Conversely, short-Bitcoin funds saw the largest inflows of any asset at $5.5 million, signaling persistent bearish bets.
Ether funds followed with outflows of $36.5 million. Meanwhile, XRP and Solana products recorded minor inflows of $3.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively.
In response to the weak backdrop, CoinShares made a strategic pricing move on Monday. The firm Europe-s-Largest-Physically-Backed-Bitcoin-ETP-to-0-15.html” rel=”noopener nofollow” target=”_blank”>announced a permanent cut to the management fee on its flagship CoinShares Bitcoin ETP, lowering it to 0.15%.
“This fee reduction reflects our conviction that accessible pricing must be structural, not promotional,” said CoinShares CEO Jean-Marie Mognetti. The ETP originally launched in January 2021 with a base fee of 0.98%.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs showed a flicker of activity on Friday after weeks of declining volume. According to SoSoValue data, trading volumes rose to $3.7 billion from $2.4 billion a day earlier.
The session brought a modest daily inflow of $88 million. However, it was not enough to prevent the week from ending with total outflows of $315.9 million.
