Institutional Investors Sell $1,700,000,000 in Bitcoin and Crypto Assets in One Week: CoinShares

According to the latest update from Coinshares, institutional investors have recently offloaded a total of $1.7 billion in Bitcoin and other crypto assets within just one week.

This amount matches the outflows from the previous week, resulting in a net outflow of $1 billion for the year so far.

Since reaching highs in October 2025, assets under management have dropped by $73 billion.

CoinShares attributes the negative sentiment to whale selling associated with the four-year cycle, geopolitical uncertainties, and concerns surrounding the Federal Reserve’s future.

Outflows were predominantly led by the US with $1.65 billion, followed by Canada at $37.3 million and Sweden at $18.9 million. Switzerland experienced minor inflows of $11 million, while Germany added $4.3 million.

Bitcoin saw outflows of $1.32 billion, Ethereum lost $308 million, XRP $43.7 million, and Solana $31.7 million.

Short Bitcoin products saw an increase of $14.5 million, with year-to-date assets rising by 8.1%. Hype products also saw growth, attracting $15.5 million, largely driven by sales of tokenized precious metals.
