Bitcoin recorded its largest weekly outflow of 2026 as digital asset funds lost $1.47 billion. The latest CoinShares data showed a second straight week of withdrawals from crypto investment products.
The pullback came as investors reduced exposure during wider market caution. CoinShares linked the move to Iran-related geopolitical tensions and weaker demand for risk assets.
Bitcoin Leads Weekly Fund Withdrawals
Bitcoin saw $1.315 billion in outflows last week. That marked the largest weekly Bitcoin outflow of 2026, according to CoinShares data.
The weekly move pushed Bitcoin’s year-to-date flows lower. They fell to $2.6 billion from $3.9 billion one week earlier.
Digital asset investment products lost $1.47 billion across the same period. CoinShares said the week ranked as the third-largest outflow week of 2026.
The report said investors pulled back despite progress around the CLARITY Act. CoinShares described the market mood as “risk-off sentiment” linked to Iran-related tensions.
Global Outflows Spread Beyond The US
The United States remained the main source of withdrawals last week. US-listed digital asset products recorded $1.425 billion in outflows.
However, the selling was not limited to the US market. Switzerland reported $16.2 million in outflows, while Canada saw $12.5 million exit.
Hong Kong also recorded $12.2 million in withdrawals from digital asset products. Germany was almost flat, which showed limited movement compared with other regions.
The regional spread showed a wider shift in investor behavior. CoinShares said the pressure had broadened after Europe showed more strength one week earlier.
Ethereum Falls While Select Altcoins Gain
Ethereum also faced pressure as funds lost $222.8 million. The figure stayed close to the outflows recorded in the prior week.
Altcoin demand was weaker than the earlier period, but some products still gained funds. XRP led those inflows with $31.8 million during the week.
Near followed with $9 million in inflows, based on the CoinShares report. Solana added $7.7 million, while Sui brought in $2.9 million.
Multi-asset products also gained $4.7 million during the week. Still, total participation cooled as investors focused more on safer positions.
