Bitcoin sees $982m outflows as investors rotate into XRP and Solana

Digital asset investment products recorded $1.07 billion in outflows last week. This comes as geopolitical tensions tied to Iran-related developments triggered a broader risk-off move across crypto markets, according to a new CoinShares report.

The outflows marked the first negative week in seven and the third-largest weekly outflow of 2026.

Bitcoin accounted for the overwhelming majority of the withdrawals, posting $982 million in outflows. Ethereum saw another $249 million leave investment products, its largest weekly outflow since late January.

However, the report also showed investors continuing to rotate into several altcoins despite the broader market weakness selectively.

XRP and Solana attract fresh inflows

Among the strongest performers:

• XRP recorded $67.6 million in inflows,
• while Solana attracted another $55.1 million.

Several smaller digital assets also continued seeing positive flows, including:

• Toncoin at $7.7 million,
• Sui at $4.7 million,
• Ondo at $4.1 million,
• Chainlink at $3.9 million,
• and Dogecoin at $3.2 million.

According to CoinShares, the data suggests that investors are increasingly looking beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum for selective exposure rather than fully exiting digital assets.

Geopolitical tensions hit Bitcoin hardest

CoinShares linked the broader outflows primarily to renewed geopolitical uncertainty surrounding Iran-related developments. It triggered institutional de-risking across crypto investment products.

The United States accounted for nearly all the negative flows, recording approximately $1.14 billion in outflows.

By contrast, several European markets continued posting positive inflows:

• Switzerland saw $22.8 million,
• Germany recorded $22 million,
• and the Netherlands added $7.5 million.

Canada also posted $12.6 million in inflows during the week.

CLARITY Act progress may have softened the selloff

The report also pointed to ongoing progress surrounding the CLARITY Act as a factor helping stabilize sentiment despite the broader market pullback.

CoinShares said developments tied to U.S. crypto market structure legislation appeared to “cushion the broader risk-off tone.” It noted that 11 individual digital assets still recorded meaningful inflows during the week.

Thursday alone reportedly saw $174 million in positive flows despite the broader weekly selloff.

Final Summary

• Digital asset investment products recorded $1.07 billion in outflows last week, led by nearly $1 billion leaving Bitcoin products.
• XRP and Solana continued attracting inflows, suggesting investors are rotating into selective altcoins rather than exiting crypto entirely.
