The crypto sector is going through (once again!) A critical period. Since February 2025, a massive wave of capital outings has been hitting ETP Crypto, jeopardizing the gains garnered at the start of the year. The figures are cold on the back!
A historic capital leak in Crypto products
According to Coinshares, the Crypto investment products Record $ 795 million in outings just last week. Since February, the total amount has reached $ 7.2 billion. This disturbing trend almost entirely has erased net entries since January, now limited to 165 million.
On the front line, Bitcoin with $ 751 million in withdrawals. The flagship cryptocurrency is followed by Ethereum and some altcoins like Solana or Aave. Even the Crypto products with a decrease lever have experienced outings, testifying to a globally cautious market feeling.
“A wave of negative feeling started in February”says James Butterfill, analyst at Cornershares. He points to geopolitical tensions as well as the instability caused by Donald Trump's pricing policies. Many crypto experts are indeed accusing the current president of the United States of sowing doubt on the financial market.
Trump, Blackrock and the Domino Effect on Crypto ETF
It's a fact! Recents Trump administration decisions caused a shock wave within the cryptosphere. In particular, we refer to the imposition of an overall customs tariff of 10 %. These protectionist measures have revived macroeconomic uncertainty. Above all, they led to a loss of confidence among investors.
Leader of Crypto ETF marketBlackrock was not spared. Its Ishares funds lost $ 342 million in a week. Fund entries for the whole quarter fell 83 %, despite correct performance on digital assets.
Despite this tense climate, certain voices remain optimistic. Andrew Kang (Mechanism Capital), for example, strengthened his long position on Bitcoin with a 200 million dollars bet. For others, like Bitwise Matt Hougan, current turbulence could play in favor of the medium -term blockchain.
Could this wave of withdrawals mark a turning point for the Crypto market? Faced with volatility, some fold their wings, when others see an opportunity, while investors are starting to leave ETP Cryptos after 19 weeks of influx.
