Crypto Products Recorded Net Outflow of $1.7B Last Week

3 min read

Crypto investment products recorded another heavy week of outflows, according to CoinShares’ latest weekly report dated Feb. 2. These funds recorded $1.7 billion in withdrawals last week and pushed year to date net outflows to $1 billion.

CoinShares revealed that assets under management (AUM) for crypto investment products have dropped by $73 billion from their peak in October 2025.

Outflows were mostly concentrated in the United States, which accounted for $1.65 billion of the total. Most major asset classes posted negative flows during the week, led by Bitcoin products.

Bitcoin ETFs see Major Withdrawals

CoinShares data shows Bitcoin BTC $77 806 24h volatility: 0.8% Market cap: $1.56 T Vol. 24h: $86.10 B investment vehicles recorded $1.32 billion in outflows last week. During this time, US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs were the primary source of selling, with $1.48 billion in outflows.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading below the average cost basis of US spot Bitcoin ETFs. Data shows that US Bitcoin ETF products hold around 1.28 million BTC with a total AUM of about $113 billion.

This implies an average buying price of $87,830 per Bitcoin. BTC prices have moved well below that level following a recent sharp selloff.

Altcoins Weaken as Macro Pressure Builds

The broader digital asset market also declined as the total crypto market cap shrank by $400 billion over the past week.

Ethereum ETH $2 313 24h volatility: 3.2% Market cap: $279.29 B Vol. 24h: $59.03 B products faced $308 million in outflows last week, according to CoinShares. Assets that had attracted strong interest earlier in the cycle, including XRP XRP $1.64 24h volatility: 0.0% Market cap: $99.79 B Vol. 24h: $5.59 B and Solana SOL $103.2 24h volatility: 1.9% Market cap: $58.46 B Vol. 24h: $9.00 B , also faced struggles. XRP products saw $43.7 million in outflows, while Solana products lost $31.7 million.

One area that recorded inflows against the broader trend was short Bitcoin products with $14.5 million in inflows. Their AUM is up 8.1% year to date amid rising demand for downside exposure.

Meanwhile, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index dropped into extreme fear as the new week started.

Raoul Pal, founder and CEO of Global Macro Investor, recently argued that the ongoing selloff is due to a shortage of US liquidity rather than a structural market issue.

Pal pointed to temporary liquidity drains related to two government shutdowns and ongoing problems in US funding markets.

Some market participants now expect fewer and slower interest rate cuts under new Fed chair Kevin Warsh, given his firm stance on inflation and quantitative easing.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

The post Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor and a group of crypto executives met in Washington, D.C. yesterday to push for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill (the BITCOIN Act), which would see the U.S. acquire up to 1M $BTC over five years. With Bitcoin being positioned yet again as a cornerstone of national monetary policy, many investors are turning their eyes to projects that lean into this narrative – altcoins, meme coins, and presales that could ride on the same wave. Read on for three of the best crypto projects that seem especially well‐suited to benefit from this macro shift:  Bitcoin Hyper, Best Wallet Token, and Remittix. These projects stand out for having a strong use case and high adoption potential, especially given the push for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve.   Why the Bitcoin Reserve Bill Matters for Crypto Markets The strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill could mark a turning point for the U.S. approach to digital assets. The proposal would see America build a long-term Bitcoin reserve by acquiring up to one million $BTC over five years. To make this happen, lawmakers are exploring creative funding methods such as revaluing old gold certificates. The plan also leans on confiscated Bitcoin already held by the government, worth an estimated $15–20B. This isn’t just a headline for policy wonks. It signals that Bitcoin is moving from the margins into the core of financial strategy. Industry figures like Michael Saylor, Senator Cynthia Lummis, and Marathon Digital’s Fred Thiel are all backing the bill. They see Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a hedge against systemic risks. For the wider crypto market, this opens the door for projects tied to Bitcoin and the infrastructure that supports it. 1. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Turning Bitcoin Into More Than Just Digital Gold The U.S. may soon treat Bitcoin as…
