Cryptocurrency exchange-traded products faced renewed pressure

This marked a sudden shift after two weeks of inflows, which had collectively reached $870 million.

Cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) faced renewed pressure last week as investors pulled $240 million from the market, according to CoinShares’ April 7 report. This marked a sudden shift after two weeks of inflows, which had collectively reached $870 million.

Even with the dip, the total value held in digital asset ETPs stood at $132.6 billion, indicating a 0.8% increase from the previous week. In comparison, traditional assets like MSCI World equities saw a more substantial 8.5% fall over the same timeframe.

James Butterfill, the Head of Research at CoinShares, linked the recent outflows to investor caution amid global trade tariffs imposed by the United States and concerns about their potential impact on global economic growth.

Bitcoin ETPs Lead with $207 Million in Withdrawals

ETPs tracking Bitcoin encountered the most significant outflows, with weekly withdrawals amounting to $207 million. This development also marked the first instance of monthly flows turning negative in 2025. Over the past 30 days, Bitcoin ETPs have recorded $138 million in net outflows.

However, despite the recent setback, Bitcoin ETPs continue to display strength on a yearly scale. Since the beginning of the year, these products have attracted $1.3 billion in inflows.

ETPs focused on Ethereum also registered outflows of $38 million for the week, but year-to-date figures for the yellow coin remained positive at $279 million.

Other digital assets also faced headwinds. Solana ETPs recorded outflows of $1.8 million, while Sui products saw outflows of $4.7 million. Multi-asset and short Bitcoin Products saw yearly outflows of $144 million and $26 million respectively, despite receiving minor inflows of $2.6 million and $3.4 million respectively in the past week.

Grayscale Leads with the Biggest Losses in ETPs

Among fund providers, Grayscale Investments encountered the largest losses with its ETPs reporting weekly outflows of $95 million. This move pushed Grayscale’s total year-to-date withdrawals to $1.4 billion, the highest among all issuers tracked by CoinShares.

In contrast, iShares ETFs by BlackRock saw outflows of $56 million last week but lead the industry with $3.2 billion in inflows since January. ProShares and ARK Invest also remained in positive territory, reporting year-to-date inflows of $398 million and $146 million respectively.

Regionally, most of the pullback came from the United States and Germany, which together accounted for outflows of $227.7 million—$210 million from the U.S. and $17.7 million from Germany. But not everyone followed the retreat. In Canada, investors took the downturn as a signal to buy, contributing inflows of $4.8 million during the same week.
