Investors recently pulled out **$508 million** from digital asset investment products, bringing the two-week outflows to **$924 million**. This marks a sharp contrast to the preceding 18-week period, which saw substantial inflows totaling **$29 billion**. CoinShares reports that increased investor caution stems from market uncertainty following the recent US Presidential inauguration, coupled with concerns about trade tariffs, inflation, and monetary policy.

During this period, overall trading activity decreased significantly, with turnover falling from **$22 billion** to **$13 billion** over the past two weeks.

Investors’ Shifting Focus and the Role of XRP

The latest insights from CoinShares’ Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report indicate that while Bitcoin remains a central asset, it experienced significant outflows of **$571 million**. Concurrently, investor interest in alternative cryptocurrencies has grown. Notably, XRP led altcoins with inflows of **$38.3 million** last week. Since mid-November 2025, XRP has accumulated approximately **$819 million** in inflows, largely driven by optimism regarding a potentially favorable outcome in the ongoing US Securities and Exchange Commission case.

Enthusiasm for XRP is also evident in the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s observation of increased spot XRP ETF applications. Financial institutions such as Canary Capital, WisdomTree, Bitwise, and 21Shares have recently filed for these exchange-traded products in response to growing investor demand for XRP exposure.

Additional Altcoin and Regional Movements

Other popular digital assets also experienced notable inflows. Solana attracted **$8.9 million**, while Ethereum and Sui recorded inflows of **$3.7 million** and **$1.47 million**, respectively. Multi-asset investment products received a combined inflow of **$3.1 million**. Litecoin and Cardano saw modest increases, registering inflows of **$1.1 million** and **$0.1 million**, respectively.

In contrast, European markets have shown stronger investor confidence with steady inflows. Germany and Switzerland received inflows of around **$30.5 million** and **$15.8 million**, respectively. Sweden and Australia both saw inflows close to **$5 million**.

This evolving landscape underscores how geopolitical events and regulatory developments can significantly influence investor behavior in the digital asset space. As markets adapt to these changes, stakeholders continue to closely monitor both macroeconomic factors and crypto-specific news to inform their investment strategies.
