Bitcoin experienced the largest pull while select digital assets attracted renewed interest.
Early technical cues and institutional moves add a cautious angle to market shifts.
Cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) saw outflows totaling $1.7 billion last week, as global investors continued pulling capital amid broader market declines, according to a March 17 CoinShares report.
Crypto ETPs Liquidation Streak Reaches $6.4 Billion Over Five Weeks
The latest report shows that the market downturn has triggered cumulative outflows of $6.4 billion over the past five weeks.
Crypto ETFs & ETPs recorded another week of negative flows for the fifth consecutive time, with $1.7 billion in outflows!
The outflows were significant for #Bitcoin products, totaling $978 million. Another notable asset was $BNB product, which saw $528 million in outflows. Last… pic.twitter.com/0T16cnVDhD
CoinShares’ Head of Research, James Butterfill, noted that the sell-offs have extended to 17 consecutive days, marking the longest outflow streak since CoinShares began tracking ETP flows in 2015.
Despite the prevailing bearish sentiment, year-to-date inflows remain positive at $912 million.
However, the sustained withdrawals have caused a major drop in total assets under management (AuM), which declined by $48 billion.
Bitcoin Leads Crypto ETP Sell-Offs, While XRP and Cardano Record Inflows
Bitcoin ETPs bore the brunt of the sell-off, with total outflows hitting $5.4 billion over the past five weeks.
This has nearly erased year-to-date inflows, which now stand at $612 million.
US-based ETFs led the sell-off, contributing $1.16 billion in outflows, which accounted for 93% of total weekly liquidations.

Switzerland also faced heavy selling pressure, with $528 million exiting due to a seed investor’s withdrawal. Meanwhile, Germany recorded a minor inflow of $8 million.
The broader decline in crypto ETPs was further reflected in Ethereum and Solana products, which posted outflows of $176 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
However, not all digital assets experienced declines. XRP and Cardano recorded positive flows, with XRP seeing $1.8 million in inflows and Cardano attracting a modest $400,000.
Unlike the previous CoinShares report, which cited factors such as the $1.4 billion Bybit hack and hawkish Federal Reserve comments as reasons for early March outflows, the latest report attributes the continued decline to broader negative market sentiment.
Technical indicators, however, suggest Bitcoin may be approaching a potential turning point.
Bitcoin’s stochastic RSI has printed a bullish cross, a setup that has historically preceded strong price rebounds.

Historically, Bitcoin has seen price recoveries averaging 55% within three to five months following such signals, with some rallies extending beyond 90%.
Meanwhile, institutional players have been adjusting their strategies amid the ongoing correction.
Data shows that global crypto hedge funds have increased their Bitcoin exposure, with accumulation levels rising to a four-month high.
Despite the current downturn in crypto ETPs, some institutional investors remain optimistic, anticipating a possible price recovery in the coming months.
