📉 Crypto Market Starts the Week in the Red
Bitcoin (BTC) and major altcoins kicked off the week facing renewed selling pressure. This decline is being linked to rising tensions between the US and Iran 🌍, weaker institutional interest, and growing macroeconomic concerns 📊.
Some analysts are now warning that Bitcoin may be entering a bearish phase 🐻. Supporting this view, CoinShares recently published a report showing massive withdrawals from crypto investment products.
💰 $1.7 Billion Left the Market in One Week
According to the report, crypto funds recorded around $1.7 billion in outflows last week alone, pushing total net withdrawals this year to nearly $1 billion. Since the peak in October 2025, assets under management have dropped by approximately $73 billion 📉.
Experts believe this trend is driven by multiple factors, including:
A more aggressive stance from the Federal Reserve 🏦
Large investors selling as part of the four-year market cycle 🔄
Rising geopolitical instability ⚠️
📌 Bitcoin and US Markets Took the Biggest Hit
When breaking down the numbers by asset, Bitcoin absorbed most of the pressure.

Several popular altcoins also shifted from inflows to outflows:

🟢 Solana (SOL): –$31.7M
🟡 Sui (SUI): –$1.2M

✨ A Bright Spot: Tokenized Precious Metals
Interestingly, some investment products tied to tokenized precious metals benefited from the market turbulence, attracting about $15.5M in inflows 🪙💎.
