This is the fifth week in a row of redemptions, which propelled aggregate withdrawals to $4 billion, still trailing the $6 billion logged last year.<\/p>\n<p>Market participation has thinned significantly, as ETP trading slid to $17 billion, the weakest level since July 2025, amidst signs of disengagement among institutions and retail allocators alike globally this quarter.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"short-bets-quietly-surge\">Short Bets Quietly Surge<\/h2>\n<p>According to the latest edition of CoinShares\u2019 Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report, Bitcoin <a href=\"https:\/\/researchblog.coinshares.com\/volume-274-digital-asset-fund-flows-weekly-report-410935631ec9\" target=\"_blank\">remains<\/a> the primary drag on market sentiment, shedding $215 million. In addition, bearish positioning intensified as short-bitcoin funds absorbed $5.5 million, which is the highest inflow among individual assets. Ethereum also experienced notable withdrawals of $36.5 million, joined by continued selling in multi-asset products and Tron, which lost $32.5 million and $18.9 million, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>While XRP, Solana, and Chainlink attracted limited inflows ranging between $1.2 million and $3.5 million, these gains did little to offset persistent net outflows across altcoins.<\/p>\n<p>The US dominated weekly flows on the downside as it contributed $347 million in outflows, while investors outside the country <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/the-fastest-bitcoin-btc-crash-is-over-but-the-worst-is-yet-to-come\/\">treated<\/a> recent price declines as an entry point. Inflows were led by Switzerland, Canada, and Germany at $19.5 million, $16.8 million, and $16.2 million, respectively. Smaller allocations of of $3 million, $2.7 million, and $1 million also flowed into Brazil, Australia, and the Netherlands, respectively.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"bitcoin-stuck-in-a-macro-storm\">Bitcoin Stuck in a Macro Storm<\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin slipped below $65,000 during Monday\u2019s early Asia trading, which ended up triggering roughly $230 million in long liquidations as markets grapple with a convergence of geopolitical and macro risks. The move <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/btc-flash-dump-why-bitcoin-fell-4k-in-hours-and-what-comes-next\/\">followed<\/a> Donald Trump\u2019s decision to raise a proposed global tariff to 15%, announced shortly after the Supreme Court of the United States struck down his \u201cLiberation Day\u201d tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>This was enough to compound policy uncertainty amid already thinning risk appetite and renewed concerns around a potential US-Iran conflict. QCP Capital <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcpgroup.com\/insights\/qcp-market-colour-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">stated<\/a> that the focus is not on whether Bitcoin has failed, but how long this storm persists.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"you-may-also-like\" class=\"heading-4\">You may also like:<\/h3>\n<p>With BTC on pace for a fifth red monthly close, historically a late-stage signal, all eyes are now on upcoming catalysts, including progress on the Clarity Act and US-Iran talks.
