- Outflows slowed to US$187m, a level that often marks a shift in market direction.
- Assets under management fell to a March 2025 low, while trading activity surged to a record.
- Investor demand split by region and asset, with Europe and select altcoins showing strength.
According to the data, crypto and other digital asset investment products showed a clear change in flow behavior last week. Outflows reached US$187m despite sustained pressure on prices. The figure still reflects caution.
Yet the sharp slowdown in withdrawals matters more than the headline number. History shows that changes in momentum often signal a turn before prices respond. This pattern has appeared during prior market lows. The latest data fits that structure and suggests sentiment may have reached a critical stage.
Crypto markets tend to react quickly to price moves. Fund flows usually follow the same direction. When prices fall, capital exits. When prices rise, capital returns. However, the speed of those moves carries added meaning.
Crypto Assets Under Management Fall to March 2025 Levels
A slowdown in outflows during a correction often signals exhaustion among sellers. It suggests that investors have already reduced risk. The remaining holders appear more willing to wait. Last week’s US$187m outflow marked a sharp deceleration from prior periods.
This change arrived despite weak price action across major assets. Such divergence has preceded market stabilization in the past. It does not confirm a recovery. It does indicate that downside pressure may weaken. Investors now watch whether flows stabilize further or turn positive in the coming weeks.
The price correction pushed total assets under management down to US$129.8bn. This level stands as the lowest since March 2025. That earlier period followed the announcement of new US tariffs and marked a local market bottom.
The current decline mirrors that phase in both scale and speed. At the same time, trading activity surged. Exchange traded product volumes hit US$63.1bn for the week. This figure set a new record.
Regional Flows Show Strong European Demand
It exceeded the prior high from October by a wide margin. High volume during falling prices often reflects repositioning rather than panic. Traders rotate exposure. Long term investors rebalance. Such activity can support future stability once prices settle.
Investor behavior varied sharply by region. Several European markets attracted fresh inflows. Germany led with US$87.1m. Switzerland followed with US$30.1m. Canada and Brazil also recorded steady gains.
These flows suggest confidence in regulated products and local demand. Bitcoin stood apart. It recorded outflows of US$264m and showed the weakest sentiment. In contrast, select altcoins regained interest. XRP led with inflows of US$63.1m.
Solana and Ethereum followed with smaller gains. XRP now stands as the strongest asset year to date with US$109m in inflows. This split highlights a selective market. Investors now favor specific narratives rather than broad exposure.
