Crypto investment products saw significant outflows last week, totaling $1.67 billion, marking the second-largest withdrawal of 2026. This decline was primarily driven by U.S. investors amid escalating geopolitical tensions, particularly regarding Iran and Israel. Bitcoin funds were hit hardest, with a record outflow of $1.44 billion, contributing to a total of $4.21 billion in redemptions over the past three weeks. The total assets under management in digital assets fell to around $141 billion, the lowest level since early April.
