Midweek outflows reached $853 million, likely driven by further downside in crypto prices. Conditions improved slightly on Friday after weaker-than-expected US CPI data, which helped trigger $105 million in inflows.<\/p>\n<p>Trading activity also cooled. Exchange-traded product (ETP) volumes fell sharply to $27 billion, down from a record $63 billion the previous week.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">US leads crypto fund outflows as Europe and Canada diverge<\/h2>\n<p>Regional data revealed a stark divergence in sentiment. The United States accounted for $403 million in outflows, while other regions collectively posted $230 million in inflows.<\/p>\n<p>Germany led with $115 million in inflows, followed by Canada ($46.3 million) and Switzerland ($36.8 million). The data suggests that while US investors remain risk-off, appetite for digital assets persists in parts of Europe and North America.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bitcoin and Ethereum under pressure, altcoins show resilience<\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin (BTC) bore the brunt of the sell-off, with $133 million in outflows last week. Ethereum (ETH) followed with $85.1 million in withdrawals. <\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, short Bitcoin products also saw outflows totaling $15.4 million over the past two weeks, a pattern CoinShares notes is often observed near potential market bottoms.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"857\" height=\"642\" src=\"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1771294536_957_Crypto-funds-bleed-for-fourth-straight-week-as-US-investors.webp.webp\" alt=\"Crypto funds bleed for fourth straight week as US investors pull back - 2\" class=\"wp-image-14450376\" style=\"width:1020px;height:auto\"><\/figure>\n<p>In contrast, select altcoins continued to attract capital. The Ripple token (XRP) led with $33.4 million in inflows, followed closely by Solana (SOL) and Chainlink (LINK). The selective resilience suggests investors are rotating exposure rather than exiting the asset class entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the recent drawdown, total assets under management remain substantial, highlighting that institutional engagement in digital assets continues even amid short-term volatility.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto funds recorded a fourth consecutive week of outflows, with $173 million withdrawn, according to CoinShares\u2019 latest weekly fund flows report.
