Cryptocurrency Funds Shift: Bitcoin Faces Selling, XRP and Solana Become New "Safe Havens"?

According to CoinShares’ latest weekly report, although cryptocurrency prices remain in a correction phase, the outflow of funds from digital asset investment products has significantly slowed down. Last week, the overall net outflow was approximately $187 million, a substantial decrease from previous periods. Historical data shows that changes in capital flow velocity often precede price reversals, and the current signals are seen as an indication that the market may be approaching a short-term bottom.

In terms of asset structure, Bitcoin remains the main pressure point, with approximately $264.4 million in funds flowing out last week, bringing the total outflow since the beginning of the year to nearly $984 million. Meanwhile, products that short Bitcoin also saw about $11.6 million in withdrawals, indicating that bearish sentiment is beginning to cool. In contrast, some mainstream cryptocurrencies have attracted a new wave of attention.

XRP led with a weekly net inflow of about $63.1 million, with a total inflow of $109 million so far this year, making it the strongest-performing asset in terms of capital. Solana and Ethereum also recorded net inflows of approximately $8.2 million and $5.3 million respectively, while multi-asset portfolio products added about $9.3 million. Funds are shifting from single assets to diversified allocations, reflecting investors’ rebalancing between risk control and potential returns.

Regionally, Europe has become the main source of incremental inflows. Germany saw inflows of about $87.1 million, and Switzerland about $30.1 million; North America and Latin America also showed improvement, with Canada and Brazil attracting approximately $21.4 million and $16.7 million respectively. The divergence across markets indicates that institutional allocation to cryptocurrencies is changing pace.

Due to price adjustments, the assets under management (AUM) of digital asset investment products have fallen to approximately $129.8 billion, the lowest since March 2025. However, trading activity has significantly increased, with weekly ETP trading volume soaring to $63.1 billion, hitting a record high and demonstrating that market sentiment remains highly competitive.

CoinShares believes that the slowdown in fund outflows, increased attention to altcoins, and rising trading volumes are outlining a stabilizing market profile. Although short-term volatility still exists, the shift in capital direction may lay the groundwork for the next phase of market trends.
