The bitcoin-related funds were under maximum stress this week, with withdrawals from funds associated with the coin totaling almost $1.3 billion, the highest such number seen from the Bitcoin products so far in 2026.
The Ethereum-based investment funds saw withdrawals worth $223 million. Despite the significant outflows, the overall amount invested in crypto ETPs stood at about $148.7 billion at the close of the week.
The bitcoin-based products also dominated the segment with an estimated amount of roughly $120.2 billion, which comprised about 80% of the total. According to analysts, investor attitudes towards cryptocurrencies were negative due to their inclination towards safe positions.
According to James Butterfill, Research Director for CoinShares, the increased selling activity was due to growing worries regarding the geopolitics around Iran. Additionally, he noted that despite positive developments on the CLARITY Act in the US, investors continued to reduce their risks.
