Crypto Investment Products See Sharp Reversal to Start 2026
-

Crypto investment products recorded a notable pullback last week, as four consecutive days of outflows erased a portion of the strong inflows seen at the start of the year. According to CoinShares, crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) saw $454 million in net outflows, signaling a clear shift in investor sentiment.
CoinShares’ head of research, James Butterfill, attributed the reversal largely to macroeconomic concerns—specifically, fading expectations of a US Federal Reserve rate cut in March. Still, month-to-date flows remained positive at $229 million, showing that investors haven’t fully turned risk-off yet.
