Crypto asset management firm CoinShares says institutional whales pulled hundreds of millions of dollars out of crypto investment vehicles last week.
According to CoinShares’ latest Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report, last month’s US presidential inauguration had a negative impact on investor sentiment last week.
“Digital asset investment products saw outflows totaling US$508m last week, bringing the last two weeks of outflows to US$924m, following an 18-week run totaling US$29bn.
We believe investors are exercising caution following the US Presidential inauguration and the consequent uncertainty around trade tariffs, inflation and monetary policy. This is also evident in trading turnover, which has fallen considerably from US$22bn 2 weeks ago to US$13bn last week.”

According to CoinShares, XRP products saw the most significant inflows of any crypto product, including Bitcoin (BTC), which usually takes the lion’s share of inflows. While BTC products suffered $571 million in outflows, XRP products raked in $38.3 million in inflows.
“XRP has now seen US$819m of inflows since mid-November 2025, reflecting investor hopes that the SEC will drop its lawsuit. Solana, Ethereum and Sui followed with inflows of US$8.9m, US$3.7m and US$1.47m, respectively.”
Regionally, the US led all regions in outflows at $560 million. Germany and Switzerland led all regions in inflows with $30.5 million and $15.8 million in inflows.
