Ethereum bore the brunt of last week’s selling in digital asset investment products, recording $221.8 million in outflows.
This happened as total crypto fund products posted $414 million in net outflows for the week ending March 27, 2026. The figure is the first negative weekly result in five weeks.
CoinShares attributed the reversal primarily to two factors: the increasingly drawn-out Iran conflict weighing on risk sentiment, and a change in market expectations for the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting from rate cuts to rate hikes. Total assets under management across all tracked digital asset investment products dropped to $129.59 billion.
Ethereum outflows reach $222M amid Clarity Act concerns
Ethereum’s $221.8 million in weekly outflows stood as the single largest asset-level loss of the week by a wide margin. CoinShares specifically cited news related to the Clarity Act as a likely driver of the selling. The week’s outflows pushed Ethereum’s year-to-date net flow position to a $273 million outflow. Total Ethereum AUM fell to $15.45 billion.
