Crypto Funds See $1.07B Outflows Amid Iran Tensions, End 6-Week Inflow Streak
Crypto investment products recorded $1.07 billion in outflows last week, ending a six-week streak of inflows and marking the third-largest weekly withdrawal of 2026, according to CoinShares. The reversal was driven by renewed geopolitical anxiety tied to Iran, which rattled broader risk markets. Total assets under management fell to $157 billion from $159 billion. The sell-off was largely concentrated in the US, with American-listed products accounting for $1.14 billion in outflows. In contrast, European markets showed resilience: Switzerland saw $22.8 million in inflows, Germany $22 million, the Netherlands $7.5 million, and Canada $12.6 million. Bitcoin bore the brunt of outflows with $982 million, while Ethereum lost $249 million—its worst week since late January. However, altcoins bucked the trend: XRP attracted $67.6 million, Solana $55.1 million, and other tokens like Toncoin, Sui, Ondo, Chainlink, and Dogecoin also saw inflows. Legislative progress on the CLARITY Act, which passed the Senate Banking Committee, provided a partial buffer, with 11 assets still recording positive inflows and a positive $174 million flow on Thursday alone.
