Investors pulled a net total of $255 million out of exchange-traded crypto funds last week, the largest weekly outflow CoinShares has ever recorded, according to a report<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n Assets under management, or AUM, fell by 10% over the past week to $26 billion, undoing the progress made in crypto-based funds since the start of the year. The drawdown represents 1% of total assets invested in crypto funds, according to CoinShares.<\/p>\n CoinShares tracks the flow of money in and out of exchange-traded products, mutual funds, and over-the-counter (OTC) trusts that track crypto assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins.<\/p>\n Bitcoin funds were hit especially hard, accounting for $244 million of the money flowing out of crypto funds, according to CoinShares. Ethereum funds lost $11 million during the week and outflows from altcoin funds, like Litecoin and Tron, accounted for less than $1 million, according to the report.<\/p>\n Weekly inflows into Solana, XRP, Polygon, and multi-asset funds totaled just $3 million.<\/p>\n CoinShares head of research James Butterfill wrote that while the weekly total outflow was the highest it\u2019s ever been, it\u2019s not the highest when expressed as a percentage of total assets invested in crypto funds.<\/p>\n Back in May 2019, a $51 million weekly outflow represented about 2% of all assets invested in crypto funds at the time.<\/p>\n \u201cIt highlights just how much total AUM has risen since May 2019\u2014 816%,\u201d he wrote in the report.<\/p>\n Last week was brutal for the banking industry, especially institutions that serve the technology sector and crypto industry.<\/p>\n After weeks of speculation that it wouldn\u2019t survive the blow it was dealt when former client FTX filed<\/a> for bankruptcy, crypto-friendly Silvergate Bank announced that it was winding down<\/a> operations on Wednesday.<\/p>\n SVB, Signature Bank Losses Will Not ‘Be Borne by the Taxpayer’, Insists President Biden<\/a><\/p>\n By Thursday, panic on social media created a bank run for Silicon Valley Bank, which counts close to half of all venture-backed tech startup companies in the U.S. as its customers.
