In recent weeks, significant institutional exits from the cryptocurrency market have been noteworthy, leading to crucial repercussions on the market charts. The decreased appetite in the ETF channels affects smaller investors who tend to mirror the movements of professionals. Although BTC ETFs witnessed a net inflow on Friday, the outflow since October has laid the foundation for an 80,000-dollar base. So, what’s the current state?
Crypto Investment Report
Over the past week, cryptocurrency investment products experienced a net outflow of 1.94 billion dollars. Persisting for four weeks, the total outflow has reached 4.92 billion dollars. While the outflow is significant and rapid, it only accounts for 2.9% of the total crypto assets managed by funds.
Has such an event occurred before? Yes, when viewed proportionally, it is the third-largest outflow stream since 2018. As Friday marked a shift to positivity, there’s potential for the sales to slow and the worst to be over by the fifth week. Despite having experienced the third-largest outflow immediately after March 2025 and February 2018 exits, BTC stands at 86,000 dollars.
On an annual basis, crypto investment products remain in the positive sector. Net inflows are at 44.4 billion dollars. Although reaching the aimed 60 billion dollars seems unlikely due to the rising outflows, the year might not close as poorly as anticipated.
Altcoins and BTC Short Products
Short BTC products are gaining traction. Offered to institutions and professional investors, this product saw a 19 million dollar inflow last week. In the last three weeks, the total inflow has been 40 million dollars. While the figure might appear small, the total size has increased by 119%. For three weeks, some have been anticipating deeper BTC declines and have betted accordingly. For Short BTC products, these 3-4 weeks have felt like a bull phase of their own.
ETH saw a net outflow of 589 million dollars in total. Despite a 57 million dollar inflow on Friday, more is needed to recuperate the losses. While Solana 
$86 ETFs witnessed inflows, ETPs experienced outflows amounting to 156 million dollars. The launch excitement of XRP Coin ETFs resulted in 89 million dollars net inflows, moving in the reverse direction.
