From Billions to $187 Million: Has Crypto’s Selling Frenzy Hit Its Limit?

Crypto markets may be showing early signs of stabilization after weeks of intense selling, according to the latest CoinShares report on digital assets.

Investment products saw outflows collapse from over $1.7 billion recorded for two successive weeks to just $187 million last week.

Crypto Outflows Shrink to $187 Million, CoinShares Report Shows

CoinShares’ latest figures show that total assets under management fell to $129.8 billion, the lowest level since March 2025. This reflects the ongoing impact of the recent price slide.

Based on the chart below, regional trends hint at selective confidence, with institutional and region-specific strategies diverging even as global sentiment remains cautious.

Yet while investors were cautious, trading activity remained strong. Crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded a record $63.1 billion in weekly volume. With this, they surpassed the previous high of $56.4 billion set in October 2025.

Notably, high volumes amid slowing outflows indicate that investors are repositioning rather than abandoning the market, a subtle but important distinction.

Bitcoin experienced $264 million in outflows, highlighting a rotation away from the pioneer crypto toward alternative digital assets.

Among altcoins, XRP, Solana, and Ethereum led inflows, receiving $63.1 million, $8.2 million, and $5.3 million, respectively. XRP, in particular, has emerged as a favorite, attracting $109 million year-to-date.

Crypto Capitulation Shows Signs of Slowing, But Bottom Not Yet Confirmed

Despite continued price pressure, it is worth noting that the sharp drop in outflows is no mean feat, following $1.73 billion in negative flows and $1.7 billion the week before.  This sharp contraction in crypto fund flows across successive weeks is being interpreted as a potential inflection point.

According to analysts, such a deceleration often precedes changes in market momentum, suggesting the selling frenzy could be approaching its limit.

“The deceleration in outflows suggests selling pressure is easing, and capital flight may be reaching exhaustion. Historically, this shift often precedes a change in market momentum. Early signs of stabilization are starting to emerge,” stated Andre.

Historically, crypto cycles rarely reverse immediately following peak sell-offs. Instead, the market often experiences a gradual easing of outflows before inflows return, a pattern that seems to be emerging in the current correction.

Therefore, last week’s slowing outflows may be a leading indicator, but should not be misconstrued as a guarantee of recovery.

The broader implication is that the market may be transitioning from panic-driven capitulation to consolidation and selective accumulation.

While Bitcoin continues to see outflows, the inflows into altcoins and regional markets suggest that investors are rotating risk rather than exiting crypto entirely.

Still, caution remains warranted because one week of slower crypto outflows does not signal a confirmed bottom.
