Digital Asset Fund Outflows Slow, Signaling ‘Sentiment Is Turning’
Digital asset funds have seen outflows for three consecutive weeks, although the outflow slowed during the most recent week.
After experiencing outflows of $600 million in each of two consecutive weeks, these funds saw an outflow of $30 million during the week that ended June 29, Bloomberg reported Monday (July 1), citing data from CoinShares International.
Despite the slowdown in outflows, the three-week total marks the biggest outflow from digital asset funds since bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission in January, according to the report.
Bitcoin ETFs themselves had inflows totaling $10 million during the week ended June 29 after having two weeks of outflows, the report said.
Ether investment products had outflows of $60 million — up from $58 million the previous week and their largest outflows since August 2022, per the report.
The price of ether — which is the second-largest cryptocurrency, behind only bitcoin — leaped in May after the SEC approved an ether ETF, but it has since come down, according to the report.
In a Monday press release announcing the digital asset fund flows data, James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, wrote that the data shows signs that “sentiment is turning for bitcoin.”
Crypto firm Bakkt said in May that the SEC’s approval of bitcoin ETFs may lead to increased mainstream adoption of crypto and institutional investors playing a bigger role in the cryptocurrency trading market.
“As evidenced in our trading volumes in Q1, we’ve begun to see positive green shoots in the market and the overall demand environment improving, with more industry activity, higher coin prices and overall higher retail trading volume,” Bakkt President and CEO Andy Main said at the time.
It was reported June 16 that J.P. Morgan Chase said the state of the cryptocurrency market may not be sustainable.
While crypto net inflows were impressive at the time, driven by demand for spot bitcoin ETFs, J.P. Morgan Chase analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou wrote that those inflows might not be entirely made up of new funds coming into the crypto space.
“We believe there has likely been a significant rotation away from digital wallets on exchanges to the new spot bitcoin ETFs,” Panigirtzoglou explained at the time.

Robinhood’s Q3 trading revenue jumps 129% YoY, ‘primarily driven by cryptocurrency revenue’
Shares of Robinhood’s stock, ticker HOOD, were up over 4.15% at market close on Wednesday after the U.S.-based brokerage posted third-quarter gains. The firm saw transaction-based revenues jump 129% year-over-year to $730 million, “primarily driven by cryptocurrencies revenue,” according to the earnings report.
Crypto revenue was up over 300% in Q3 to $268 million. Options revenues, Robinhood’s largest revenue source, were up about 50% to $304 million, while equities trading revenue increased 132% to $86 million.
“Q3 was another strong quarter of profitable growth, and we continued to diversify our business, adding two more business lines — Prediction Markets and Bitstamp — that are generating approximately $100 million or more in annualized revenues,” Chief Finance Officer Jason Warnick said in a release.
In total, Robinhood’s total revenue came in at $1.27 billion, more than the $1.19 billion expected, while earnings per share came in at $0.61, ahead of estimates around $0.53, according to CNBC projections.
This is compared to Robinhood’s Q2 gains, which saw crypto trading volume increase 32% year-over-year to $28 billion and transaction-based cryptocurrencies revenue climb 98% to $160 million.
Meanwhile, the number of funded customers on Robinhood increased by 2.5 million year-over-year to a record 26.8 million in Q3, corresponding with “total platform assets” growing nearly 120% to a record $333 billion.
Of note, Robinhood has been working to increase its footprint in the European market, including through its acquisition of Bitstamp, a deal closed in June that enabled it to roll out crypto perps across the EU, and a partnership with Arbitrum to launch over 400 Stock Tokens mirroring U.S. equities.
The firm also acquired the Canada-based WonderFi exchange in an all-cash $179 million deal in Q2 2025.
