According to a report released by the cryptocurrency asset management firm CoinShares on Monday, global digital asset investment products recorded the largest single-week net outflow in history last week, totaling $2.9 billion, marking three consecutive weeks of net outflows, with a cumulative total outflow of $3.8 billion.
CoinShares attributes the outflow of funds from digital asset funds to multiple factors, including the recent hacking incident at the Bybit exchange, the more hawkish stance of the U.S. Federal Reserve (FED), and the previous inflow of a total of $29 billion over the past 19 weeks. These factors may have triggered profit-taking by investors and weakened market sentiment.

Most regions experienced outflows, with the most significant being in the United States ($2.87 billion), Switzerland ($73 million), and Canada ($16.9 million). However, German investors viewed this as an opportunity to buy during price weakness, recording a net inflow of $55.3 million.
Bitcoin investment products were hit the hardest, recording a net outflow of $2.59 billion last week, while short Bitcoin investment products saw a net inflow of $2.3 million.
In terms of altcoin investment products, Ethereum also failed to escape the negative market sentiment, recording a record single-week outflow of $300 million. Solana and Ton experienced outflows of $7.4 million and $22.6 million, respectively. Sui and XRP performed relatively better, recording net inflows of $15.5 million and $5 million, respectively.
