Global Crypto Investment Products Sees $952M Outflows

Crypto investment products from major issuers across the world registered outflows amounting to $952 million last week. These outflows come amid delays to the U.S. Clarity Act, which has prolonged regulatory uncertainty.

Crypto Investment Products Break Inflow Streak

According to data from CoinShares, this is the first in four weeks that global digital asset products have seen outflows. 

BlackRock’s iShares ETFs saw the highest weekly outflows, reaching $798 million, followed by Bitwise Fund Trust with $130 million. Other exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuers that recorded losses include Grayscale, ProShares, and Ark Invest.

As regards outflows from digital assets, Ethereum (ETH) came first with led outflows $555 million. Bitcoin (BTC) followed with outflows reaching $460 million. 

On the other hand, Solana and XRP continued to attract inflows for the week, indicating selective investor support. Solana recorded inflows of $48.5 million, while XRP led with $62.9 million.

Delay in U.S. Clarity Act Passing

CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill explained that the $952 million outflows seen last week reflected a negative market. Butterfill added that markets are responding to delays in passing the US Clarity Act, which has prolonged regulatory uncertainty for digital assets. 

The Clarity Act is intended to provide regulatory clarity in the digital asset sector. Market participants expected the bill to move forward before the end of the year. However, U.S. crypto czar David Sacks has confirmed the bill’s markup for January 2026.

Meanwhile, Butterfill also attributed the digital asset outflows to continuous selloff by whale investors. Accordingly, he claimed it is now highly unlikely that ETPs will exceed inflows recorded last year. Currently, total assets under management stand at $46.7 billion compared with $48.7 billion in 2024.

U.S. Accounts for Major Outflows

Furthermore, the negative digital asset flows were concentrated almost entirely in the United States. In total, outflows from the U.S reached $990 million. 

However, modest inflows from Canada and Germany partly offset the selling from the U.S. Inflows from Canada and Germany amounted to $46.2 million and $15.6 million, respectively. These inflows signaled more resilient sentiment among non-US investors despite the global drawdown.

Intriguingly, the report comes shortly after the United Kingdom formally enacted a new law that places digital holdings within its property framework. The bill has secured royal assent, with King Charles’ approval marking its final step into national law.
