Crypto ETFs Record $1.5 Billion in Weekly Outflows, Extending Two-Week Total to $2.6 Billion

The latest weekly withdrawal was the largest since February, following $1.1 billion in outflows the previous week and marking one of the biggest two-week pullbacks in at least a year.

Fact Check
CoinShares' official May 26, 2026 Digital Asset Fund Flows report confirms US$1.47B weekly outflows (rounds to $1.5B) and US$2.54B cumulative two-week outflows (rounds to $2.6B), matching the article's headline figures. CoinShares classifies it as the third-largest weekly outflow of 2026, with the larger prior outflows occurring in late January — consistent with the article's claim of 'largest since February' and 'one of the biggest two-week pullbacks in at least a year.' Bitcoin and Ethereum breakdowns also align.
