In short
- The Iran crisis ended a six-week rally with $1.07 billion in outflows, led by Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- The sale was almost all over America; European markets stabilized with a slight inflow.
- Altcoins broke the deadlock – XRP and Solana both increased in revenue, 11 stocks finished positive.
Crypto-currency stocks lost $1.07 billion in outflows last week, ending a six-week winning streak and marking the third weekly withdrawal of 2026, according to a report on Monday. CoinShares.
Analysts say the change was caused by renewed concern over Iran, which has rattled risk-adjusted markets and sent investors fleeing the biggest cryptocurrencies.
Total assets under management fell to $157 billion from $159 billion last week. The losses were almost entirely an American story: Sales recorded in the US took $1.14 billion in revenue, little activity elsewhere.
European investors, on the other hand, were more optimistic. Switzerland attracted $22.8 million in total entry, Germany $22.0 million, and the Netherlands $7.5 million, while Canada added $12.6 million – a regional difference that has become a recurring theme in the 2026 unchanging space.
Bitcoin took a big hit, losing $982 million in the week and bringing its annual revenue to $3.9 billion. Ethereum rebounded, posting $249 million in grosses — its worst weekly showing since late January.
Altcoins told a very different story. XRP images attracted $67.6 million in new investments as well Solana $55.1 million, both running from recent weeks. Smaller tokens have also attracted attention, with Toncoin (TON), Sui, Ondo, Chainlink, and Dogecoin each recording gains, indicating that investors are circling in choosing a more extreme position.
The progress of the CLARITY Act appears to provide some protection, with the US bill for the crypto market through the Senate Banking Committee Thursday. Eleven properties still recorded more money, and on Thursday alone they rose to $174 million – a sign that the legal outlook has not changed despite the turmoil of the week.
