#CLARITYAct Delays Trigger $952M #Crypto Fund Outflows


Crypto investment products recorded $952 million in outflows last week, reversing three weeks of inflows as delays to the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act revived regulatory uncertainty, according to CoinShares. The reversal marked the largest monthly outflow figure and the first weekly decline in four weeks.


$ETH funds led the selling pressure with $555 million in outflows, while $BTC products saw $460 million exit. CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill attributed the erosion in investor sentiment to CLARITY Act delays and concerns over whale selling pressure.


The United States accounted for nearly all outflows, recording $990 million in withdrawals. However, Canadian investors added $46.2 million, while German investors contributed $15.6 million, partially offsetting the U.S. exodus and signaling more resilient sentiment among non-U.S. investors despite the global drawdown.


Ethereum bore the brunt of the shift because it has the most to gain or lose from the CLARITY Act due to its central relevance in debates around asset categorization and market structure, according to Butterfill. Even so, $ETH inflows this year remain significantly higher than in 2024, totaling $12.7 billion compared to $5.3 billion last year.
