CoinShares PLC (CSHR) stock fell 7.08% to $5.51 after crypto investment products reported $1.07 billion in weekly outflows. The drop erased earlier gains and ended a six-week inflow streak. The move showed fresh pressure across digital asset funds during a wider risk-off week.

Bitcoin Products Lead Weekly Outflows
Bitcoin products recorded $982 million in withdrawals during the week ending May 18. That outflow cut year-to-date Bitcoin inflows to $3.9 billion. However, the figure still remained positive despite the sharp weekly reversal.
The outflows came as macro pressure hit risk assets across global markets. Inflation concerns and geopolitical tension pushed many institutions to reduce exposure. Consequently, Bitcoin products carried most of the pressure within the crypto fund market.
The United States drove most of the retreat during the week. US-domiciled products posted about $1.14 billion in net outflows. Meanwhile, global totals looked smaller because some regions added fresh capital.
Ethereum Sees Biggest Weekly Exit Since January
Ethereum products also faced heavy selling pressure, with $249 million in weekly outflows. The move marked Ethereum’s largest single-week withdrawal since January 30. Besides Bitcoin, Ethereum became the main source of fund market weakness.
The decline showed how large-cap crypto products reacted strongly to macro stress. Ethereum often attracts institutional demand during strong market phases. Last week’s data showed rapid repositioning when market conditions weakened.
CoinShares’ weekly report linked the broad outflows to weaker sentiment across digital asset products. The company’s head of research, James Butterfill, documented the shift in fund flows. The data showed a fast break from six straight weeks of inflows.
XRP and Solana Buck the Wider Trend
XRP products attracted $67.6 million in inflows during the same week. Solana products added another $55.1 million in fresh capital. Together, both assets pulled in more than $120 million despite wider market withdrawals.
The trend showed selective rotation rather than a full exit from crypto exposure. Some market participants reduced Bitcoin and Ethereum positions but added altcoin exposure. Hence, fund flows pointed to different demand patterns across major digital assets.
Europe also moved differently from the United States during the week. Switzerland added $22.8 million, while Germany attracted $22 million. Canada and the Netherlands also recorded inflows, which softened the global outflow total.
The weekly withdrawal ranked as the third-largest crypto product outflow of 2026. Still, the move followed a strong 2025, when products attracted $47.2 billion. CoinShares PLC stock reflected the weaker tone as shares closed sharply lower.
