TechFlow News, February 2nd: According to CoinShares’ latest weekly report, digital asset investment products recorded $1.7 billion in outflows last week, turning year-to-date flows into a net outflow of $1 billion. Since the price peak in October 2025, total assets under management (AuM) have declined by $73 billion.
Outflows were concentrated in the United States ($1.65 billion), with notable withdrawals also observed in Canada and Sweden. Bitcoin experienced $1.32 billion in outflows, while other major cryptocurrencies—including Ethereum, XRP, and Solana—also faced investor withdrawals.
Analysts attribute the shift in market sentiment primarily to the Federal Reserve’s appointment of a more hawkish chair, “whale selling” typical of the four-year cycle, and heightened geopolitical volatility.
Notably, short-Bitcoin products and Hype investment products performed counter-cyclically, recording $14.5 million and $15.5 million in inflows respectively—the latter benefiting from the on-chain sales boom of tokenized precious metals.
