CoinShares Reports $240 Million in Minor Withdrawals from Digital Asset Investment Products Amidst Recent Global Growth Concerns.

A European asset manager focused on the digital asset space, CoinShares has shared its latest findings that reveal a $240 million outflow from digital asset investment products over the past week, likely due to fears related to US trade tariffs and their possible effects on economic progress. 

Despite these withdrawals, the assets under management have remained steady at $132.6 billion, marking a slight 0.8% increase compared to the previous week. This stability is notable when contrasted with other investment categories, such as MSCI World equities, which saw a substantial 8.5% drop during the same time frame, showcasing the resilience of digital assets amid widespread economic uncertainty.

Looking at regional trends, the negative sentiment was prevalent everywhere, with the US and Germany experiencing the largest outflows of $210 million and $17.7 million, respectively. However, Canadian investors capitalized on the recent downturn to bolster their holdings, resulting in inflows of $4.8 million. 

The majority of the funds withdrawn came from Bitcoin, which accounted for $207 million in outflows, leaving the year-to-date figure at a robust $1.3 billion. 

The movement of altcoins varied, with Ethereum facing outflows amounting to $37.7 million, while Solana and Sui experienced withdrawals of $1.8 million and $4.7 million, respectively. On a brighter note, lesser-known tokens like Toncoin observed inflows of $1.1 million.

Blockchain equities continued their positive trajectory for the second consecutive week, witnessing inflows that totaled $8 million as investors seized recent price drops as a strategic buying opportunity.
