In an unexpected development, cryptocurrency investment products centered on three prominent altcoins—Solana ($SOL), XRP ($XRP), and Cardano ($ADA)—contradicted the bearish trend that affected the crypto market last week. The week recorded significant outflows exceeding $54 million from digital asset investment products, with Bitcoin ($BTC) investment products facing the most impact, suffering $45.3 million in outflows.
The most recent report from CoinShares’ Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly indicates that outflows have prevailed in the crypto sector for nine consecutive weeks, leading to total outflows of $455 million. Year-to-date net inflows have decreased to just $51 million.
Significantly, the United States has been the focal point of this withdrawal, with 77% of outflows linked to American investors. Germany, Canada, and Sweden have also seen institutional investors retreating from cryptocurrency. Despite this, trading volumes surged to $1 billion for the week, reflecting a notable 42% rise compared to the prior week.
While Bitcoin-focused investment products experienced the majority of outflows, other digital assets encountered similar difficulties. Ethereum faced outflows of $4.8 million, while multi-asset products reported $200,000 in outflows. Notably, products related to Binance’s BNB saw $300,000 in outflows, and those positioned against Bitcoin recorded $3.8 million in outflows.

Contrary to this trend, investment products dedicated to Solana ($SOL) attracted $700,000 in inflows, and XRP products gained $100,000 in inflows.
Investment products aimed at Cardano ($ADA) also performed well, drawing in $400,000 in inflows and accumulating $24 million in assets under management. Meanwhile, XRP products reported $57 million in AUM, and Solana-focused products achieved an impressive $73 million.
These significant inflows into particular altcoins indicate that investors are broadening their portfolios beyond Bitcoin, looking for opportunities in emerging blockchain projects such as Solana and Cardano.
The increase in outflows within the crypto space coincides with major financial institutions entering the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency market. These financial powerhouses, managing a staggering $27 trillion in assets collectively, are actively seeking methods to provide access to Bitcoin and other digital assets. Key players in this initiative include BlackRock, Fidelity, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, BNY Mellon, Invesco, and Bank of America.
While the $27 trillion figure is impressive, only a small portion of these extensive assets is anticipated to flow into cryptocurrency investments. Nevertheless, it highlights the increasing acknowledgment of digital assets as a valid asset class within the wider financial landscape.
