Fact Check
The CoinShares Weekly Report Vol. 287 (primary source) explicitly reports a US$1.47bn weekly outflow with Bitcoin's $1.315bn outflow being the largest of 2026 and US redemptions ($1.425bn) dominating, exactly matching the claim. Two independent secondary outlets (PANews, Odaily) cite the same primary report with identical figures, and CoinShares cites heightened geopolitical tensions, supporting the claim's framing.

Summary

According to CoinShares, digital asset investment products recorded $1.47 billion in weekly net outflows, extending the prior week’s $1.07 billion in withdrawals and marking one of the weakest weeks of 2026. Bitcoin products led the decline with about $1.3 billion in outflows, their worst weekly showing of 2026, while Ether funds lost $223 million. The United States accounted for $1.43 billion of total outflows, including $1.26 billion from U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs. At the same time, short-Bitcoin products attracted $10 million, and Hyperliquid, XRP and Solana products posted inflows, indicating that some investors rotated into alternative crypto exposures rather than leaving the sector entirely. CoinShares head of research James Butterfill said Iran-related tensions were the main driver of investor risk aversion, even as U.S. crypto legislation advanced.
