Crypto Funds See $288 Million in Outflows Amid US-Europe Divide

Digital asset investment products recorded $288 million in net outflows for the week ending February 21, the fifth consecutive week of negative flows and bringing five-week cumulative outflows to $4 billion. While significant, this pace remains below the $6 billion lost over the same period last year, suggesting a more measured market adjustment rather than panic selling.

Trading volumes fell sharply, with ETP volumes dropping to $17 billion after recent record activity. Declining volumes and persistent outflows point to growing investor apathy and the risk that thin liquidity could amplify near-term volatility. Regionally, US-based funds led the retreat with $347 million in outflows, while Europe and Canada posted combined inflows of $59 million—driven by Switzerland ($19.5 million), Canada ($16.8 million) and Germany ($16.2 million).

The split signals selective accumulation overseas amid price weakness, while US investors remain on the defensive.
