Ethereum Faces $555 Million Withdrawal Amid Clarity Act Uncertainties
Investors pulled $555 million from Ethereum and $460 million from Bitcoin this week as uncertainties surrounding the US Clarity Act heighten concerns.
For the first time in a month, investments in digital asset products have seen net outflows totaling $952 million. According to CoinShares, this retreat is linked to investor reactions to the delays surrounding the US Clarity Act, which have raised uncertainties regarding the future regulation of cryptocurrencies in the United States.
In this context, major outflows were noted: Ethereum witnessed approximately $555 million in withdrawals, while Bitcoin experienced $460 million. These movements reflect growing unease among investors about the regulatory landscape. Investors are particularly cautious because Ethereum could be significantly impacted by the Act.
Despite recent withdrawals, Ethereum continues to demonstrate strong overall performance this year, with $12.7 billion in inflows recorded in 2025, a significant rebound compared to $5.3 billion in the previous year. Bitcoin, while lagging behind, has drawn in over $27 billion this year, contrasting the $41.6 billion from last year.
On the bright side, digital coins such as Solana and XRP have attracted substantial interest, netting inflows of $48.5 million and $62.9 million, respectively. Meanwhile, the sentiment around digital assets remains predominantly negative, especially in the US, which reported $990 million in outflows.
However, inflows from other regions have provided some offsets: Germany contributed $46.2 million while Canada added $15.6 million in investments.
