Investor Sentiment Remains Bearish
Crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) have seen outflows for the fourth week in a row, with investors pulling $876 million in the past trading week. This brings the four-week total to $4.75 billion, signaling ongoing uncertainty in the market.
Bitcoin ETPs See Largest Outflows
Bitcoin investment products accounted for the majority of the outflows, making up 85% of last week’s total. Even short Bitcoin funds, which benefit from price drops, recorded $19.8 million in withdrawals—the largest since December 2024.
Macroeconomic Concerns Add Pressure
Broader economic factors, such as slowing tech sector growth and weak employment data, are contributing to the cautious investor sentiment. Many traders are pulling funds from riskier assets, including cryptocurrencies.
What’s Next for Crypto ETPs?
With the current trend of outflows, analysts are closely watching investor behavior to see if this signals a temporary pullback or a longer-term shift in strategy. While some investors remain cautious, others are looking for signs of stability before re-entering the market.
