Digital asset products have lost$ 7.2 billion worth of assets since a “wave of negative sentiment” started in February, marking the most dramatic outflows on record, according to CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill in a report released on Monday.

However, he warned against being significantly concerned about the$ 795 million that was released last week across tracked bitcoin funds, including$ 751 million from Bitcoin ETFs and almost$ 38 million from Ethereum money.

At this point, Butterfill told ,” I don’t think this is anything mainly menacing or alarming.” Since” Liberation Day,” we’ve seen Cryptocurrency prices generally outperform those of securities.” If you look outside the administrative ETF business, we’ve seen that.

Since U.S. President Donald Trump announced tariffs on more than 180 countries earlier this month, and therefore largely halted them, Bitcoin has performed well against share index. Bitcoin initially soared over the weekend after the White House announced that levies would apply to smartphones and computer chips, but it dropped on Sunday after Trump made it clear that” NOBOD Y is getting’off the hook.”

According to blockchain data provider CoinGecko, the leading crypto recently increased to$ 85, 000 on Monday, showing a 0.4 % increase over the previous day. According to Yahoo Finance, the tech-heavy Nasdaq had meanwhile increased by 0.88 % on Wall Street.

Owners have invested$ 545 million in Bitcoin money and$ 241 million in Ethereum funds to date.

The average investment has appeared willing to buy the decline after Bitcoin hit$ 747,000 a week ago, but institutions are still showing signs of despair, according to Butterfill.

Retail investors are undoubtedly buying right then, but institutional investors are certainly, he said. It does recommend that corporations are not yet taking this chance as a chance.

Last year, products tracking different cryptocurrencies generated flows across the board, with the exception of XRP. Buyers allocated$ 3.5 million to the Ripple-linked sign as cash tied to Ethereum and Solana lost$ 38 and$ 5 million, both.

The second XRP ETF debuted in the U.S. last year, despite no tracking XRP’s area cost. The utilized ETF, known as the Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF, debuted last Tuesday.

Investors have now allocated only$ 65 million so far in 2025 after spending$ 44 billion on products like the spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds last year, according to CoinShares.
