CoinShares' latest weekly report shows that global digital asset investment products recorded a net outflow of $1.67 billion last week, marking the third consecutive week of capital outflow and the second largest single-week outflow since 2026, second only to the week of January 23. The cumulative net outflow over the past three weeks has expanded to $4.21 billion, indicating that the risk aversion triggered by the situation in the Middle East has overshadowed the positive impact of the regulatory progress of the U.S. CLARITY Act.Bitcoin investment products experienced a net outflow of $1.438 billion in a single week, setting a record for the largest weekly outflow this year; Ethereum investment products saw a net outflow of $257 million. Due to the continued withdrawal of funds, the global assets under management (AuM) decreased from $148 billion the previous week to $141 billion, the lowest level since early April this year. The U.S. market contributed a net outflow of $1.63 billion, making it the main source of this round of capital withdrawal.At the same time, market risk appetite has significantly declined, with the number of altcoins receiving net inflows dropping from 11 three weeks ago to the current 5.

The cryptocurrency market saw a significant decline on Thursday morning, with Bitcoin dropping below $73,000. This round of decline was accompanied by the largest single-day net outflow from the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF since late January. Nick Ruck, director of LVRG Research, stated that this sharp drop reflects a risk-averse sentiment as profit-taking occurs after recent highs, and is also influenced by rising U.S. Treasury yields and macro caution stemming from geopolitical news.Analysts added that the market decline is primarily due to funds rotating into traditional financial stocks, and once key price levels are breached, a large amount of derivatives liquidation further depressed prices. Data shows that the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF recorded a total net outflow of $733.4 million on Wednesday, marking the largest single-day outflow since January 29. Among them, BlackRock's IBIT saw a net outflow of $527.8 million, setting a record for the largest single-day outflow since the fund's inception. Additionally, other ETFs like Grayscale's GBTC also experienced negative outflows. Only Morgan Stanley's MSBT recorded a net inflow of $4.3 million.Analysts believe that the outflow of funds is due to basis trade liquidations and institutional de-risking operations, while IBIT's record outflow was influenced by large trades the previous day. Peter Chung, head of research at Presto Research, pointed out that Bitcoin has exhibited a "unique trading pattern" since mid-May, continuing to decline over the past two weeks and underperforming risk assets like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, primarily driven by outflows from the spot Bitcoin ETF.Analysts are closely monitoring ETF fund flow trends and Bitcoin's support level around $70,000, warning that ongoing fund outflows may indicate that institutions are further adjusting their cryptocurrency asset allocations. On a macro level, Asian stock markets opened lower on Thursday, with the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index and Japan's Nikkei 225 both declining, due to renewed strikes by the U.S. against Iran amid a fragile ceasefire agreement.

Strategy's preferred stock STRC recorded a record trading volume on Thursday, with a transaction amount reaching $1.53 billion, more than quadrupling the average over the past 30 days.

With ongoing disruptions, the buffer space is rapidly shrinking, which could signal future price surges."
