Cryptocurrency market loses $ 1 billion a week — CoinShares

Between October 31 and November 8, investors withdrew $ 1.17 billion from cryptocurrency funds, according to a report by analyst firm CoinShares. This is the second week in a row that outflows of more than $ 1 billion have been recorded, indicating increased caution among institutional investors.

The main reasons are the sharp market volatility after the cascade of liquidations and uncertainty about the future policy of the US Federal Reserve, in particular the pace of possible interest rate cuts. Bitcoin funds suffered the largest losses, with $ 932 million withdrawn from them, while Ethereum-based products experienced outflows of $ 438 million. At the same time, exchange-traded funds that allow opening short positions in BTC recorded an inflow of $ 11.8 million, the highest since May 2025.

Between November 3 and November 7, $ 1.22 billion was withdrawn from spot bitcoin ETFs, and $ 508 million from similar Ethereum products. For both assets, this was the third largest weekly outflow on record. Against this backdrop, altcoin-linked instruments showed positive dynamics: Solana-based funds attracted $ 118 million, increasing the total inflow to $ 2.1 billion in nine weeks.

Other popular assets included HBAR with an increase of $ 26.8 million and Hyperliquid token with $ 4.2 million in new investments. Analysts note that the demand for altcoins is growing amid capital outflows from large crypto funds as investors look for alternative areas with potentially higher returns.

The US accounted for the largest share of outflows — about $ 1.22 billion. European markets, on the other hand, showed moderate growth: in Germany, funds raised $ 41.3 million, and in Switzerland — $ 49.7 million. The previous week, from October 27 to 31, outflows from crypto funds amounted to $ 360 million, indicating a sharp deterioration in investor sentiment in early November.
