Investors pulled $187 million from digital asset funds last week, with the rate of withdrawals significantly decelerating. Panic selling appears to be waning, suggesting a stabilization in crypto markets and hinting at a potential low point in asset prices.

Altcoins Stand Out

As noted in CoinShares’ latest Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report, the recent price correction has decreased total assets under management (AuM) to $129.8 billion, marking the lowest since March 2025 when U.S. tariffs were announced. Trading volume surged to $63.1 billion, surpassing the previous record of $56.4 billion from the prior October.

Investors showed negative sentiment towards Bitcoin, noting outflows of $264 million, compared to altcoins which saw inflows led by XRP at $63.1 million, followed by Solana at $8.2 million, and Ethereum at $5.3 million. XRP continues to be the top performer with $109 million in year-to-date inflows, while Chainlink and Litecoin saw modest gains of $1.5 million and $1 million respectively.

Other notable flows included $9.3 million to multi-asset products.

Outflows were predominantly from the U.S. at $214 million, while regions such as Germany saw inflows of $87.1 million and Switzerland received $30.1 million. This reveals a diverse global investment landscape.

Favorable ETF Prospects

Even with Bitcoin’s price hovering around $69,000, Bitget’s CMO, Ignacio Aguirre Franco, highlighted a potential pathway for Bitcoin reaching $150,000-$180,000 this year, contingent on stabilizing ETF flows and macroeconomic factors. Increased developments in Layer 2 solutions and a thriving DeFi ecosystem contribute positively to Ethereum’s outlook. Franco anticipates targets for Ethereum between $5,000-$6,000 with heightened participation from traditional finance.

“Regulatory advancements, like the recent Clarity Bill and market-structure legislations, will play a crucial role in creating clarity for crypto assets, attracting more institutional investors and fostering market stability and innovation.”
