U.S. spot crypto ETFs recorded $415.47 million in net outflows for Week 8 (Feb 16-22, 2026), marking one of the largest weekly withdrawals in recent months.
Total assets under management now sit around $98 billion.
The scale of the selling highlights sustained institutional pressure on the two largest crypto assets.
Bitcoin saw broad distribution across major issuers, while Ethereum experienced consistent outflows across products.
Despite the large-cap pressure, several altcoin ETFs posted positive flows:
Dogecoin and Litecoin ETFs recorded flat flows.
The combined selling in BTC and ETH ETFs suggests continued institutional repositioning amid broader volatility.
Notably, 4,680 BTC sold in one week equates to nearly two weeks of new supply from miners, underscoring how ETF flows can materially impact spot market liquidity.
For now, large-cap crypto ETFs remain under pressure, while selective capital rotates into alternative layer-1 and infrastructure exposures.
