Ethereum leads the charge as investors rake in $555 million amid Clarity Act uncertainty

Ethereum lost $555 million this week, while Bitcoin outflows reached $460 million, as the US Clarity Act fuels uncertainty and concerns among investors.

For the first time in a month, digital asset investment products saw money outflows, with total outflows reaching $952 million. According to CoinShares, this decline occurred because investors reacted negatively to a delay in the US Clarity Act. These delays have increased uncertainty about how cryptocurrencies will be regulated in the US.

At the same time, concerns remain that whales have continued to sell off their assets. Therefore, the European asset manager said it is highly unlikely that crypto ETPs will attract more inflows than last year. Currently, total assets under management are $46.7 billion, compared to $48.7 billion in 2024.

Solana and XRP attract new capital

The latest edition of “Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report” shows that Ethereum included the largest outflow among digital asset investment products, as investors raised approximately $555 million in the past week. CoinShares said this reaction is understandable because Ethereum will benefit the most, or be most affected, by the outcome of the US Clarity Act.

Despite this short-term weakness, Ethereum’s overall performance remains strong this year. Total inflows in 2025 have already reached $12.7 billion, which is much higher than the $5.3 billion recorded last year.

Bitcoin also experienced a notable outflow of $460 million and continues to lag its 2024 performance as market prices struggle to recover. So far this year, Bitcoin has raked in over $27 billion, up from $41.6 billion last year. Multi-asset products and Sui lost $55.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

On the other hand, Solana and XRP continue to attract investor interest, with inflows of $48.5 million and $62.9 million. Chainlink also remained in positive territory after adding a modest $3.3 million.

Global digital asset flows

Negative sentiment on digital asset investments was mainly concentrated in the US, where outflows amounted to $990 million. Sweden, Switzerland and Hong Kong followed suit with $18.7 million, $5.4 million and $1.6 million respectively.

This outflow was partly compensated by the inflow from other regions. Investors in Germany added $46.2 million, Canada contributed $15.6 million, and smaller amounts came from Australia and Brazil, at $1.8 million and $0.3 million.
