Institutional investors just sold an overall total of $1.7 billion in Bitcoin and crypto assets in only one week, according to a new update from Coinshares.

The outflows are essentially equal to the previous week, reversing year-to-date inflows to a net outflow of $1 billion.

Assets under management have fallen $73 billion since October 2025 highs.

CoinShares says sentiment worsened from whale selling linked to the four-year cycle, geopolitical volatility and questions about the future of the Federal Reserve.

Regionally, the US led with $1.65 billion in outflows. Canada followed at $37.3 million, and Sweden at $18.9 million. Switzerland saw minor inflows of $11 million, while Germany added $4.3 million.

By asset, Bitcoin outflows hit $1.32 billion. Ethereum lost $308 million, XRP $43.7 million, and Solana $31.7 million.

Short Bitcoin products gained $14.5 million, with year-to-date assets up 8.1%. Hype products drew $15.5 million, boosted by tokenized precious metals sales.
