Crypto funds bleed $454M in outflows as Fed rate-cut hopes fade
Bitcoin led with $405 million of outflows last week, with the US shedding $569 million, as several altcoins and European funds posted modest inflows.
Crypto investment products posted significant outflows last week, with a four-day run of withdrawals erasing part of the $1.5 billion in inflows seen during the first two trading days of 2026.
Crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) saw $454 million in outflows last week, European crypto asset manager CoinShares reported on Monday.
“This turnaround in sentiment appears to stem mainly from investor worries over the diminishing prospects of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in March following recent macro data releases,” CoinShares’ head of research, James Butterfill, said in the update.
