US Leads $1.22B Crypto Fund Outflows as Bitcoin, Ethereum Face Heavy Selling The US market accounted for the majority of the losses, with $1.22 billion in outflows, while Germany and Switzerland bucked the trend, recording inflows of $41.3 million and $49.7 million, respectively.

In contrast, short Bitcoin ETPs saw inflows of $11.8 million, marking their strongest week since May 2025. Ethereum also saw heavy selling, with outflows reaching $438 million. Despite the bearish trend, select altcoins showed resilience. Solana led with $118 million in inflows, bringing its nine-week total to $2.1 billion. Other gainers included HBAR with $26.8 million and Hyperliquid with $4.2 million, underscoring investor interest in emerging blockchain ecosystems even as broader market sentiment remains cautious.

Despite the institutional outflows, Bitcoin’s price climbed 4.4%, briefly surpassing $106,000, suggesting retail activity and spot demand remain resilient even as large players trim exposure. Factors such as inflation fears, central bank rate hikes, and geopolitical risks have driven risk aversion across markets. Bitcoin Rebounds Above $106K as Shutdown Optimism Lifts Risk Sentiment: QCP Optimism over a potential US government shutdown resolution boosted risk sentiment across global markets, with Bitcoin rebounding to $106,000 after several dips below $100,000, according to a new report by QCP Capital . The firm noted that despite ongoing spot ETF outflows and selling from long-term holders (“OGs”), crypto joined equities in a broad relief rally. Risk reversals also showed fading demand for downside protection, signaling reduced fear of another major liquidation. The report compared the current wave of OG selling to past events like Silk Road and Mt. Gox distributions, noting that deeper market liquidity has allowed these supply shocks to be absorbed without breaking structural momentum. The firm said Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) remain a key sentiment driver but have shown limited activity amid tight trading ranges. While Bitcoin’s strong rejection of the $100K level offers some technical support, QCP expects continued range-bound trading in the medium term. Any push above $118K could meet renewed selling from OG wallets unless macro tailwinds and ETF inflows strengthen meaningfully.
