Regional flows highlight divergent investor sentiment
Outflows were concentrated in the United States, with US$460 million withdrawn, while Switzerland experienced minor outflows of US$14.2 million. Germany, however, stood out with inflows of US$35.7 million, bringing its monthly total to US$248 million. Analysts suggest German investors are selectively accumulating positions during the recent price weakness, indicating a differentiated regional appetite for digital assets.
Asset-specific trends show continued interest in XRP and solana
CoinShares data shows that XRP and Solana ETFs continue to attract inflows, totaling US$70.2 million and US$7.5 million last week, respectively. Since their US ETF launches in mid-October, XRP and Solana have drawn US$1.07 billion and US$1.34 billion in inflows, bucking the negative trend seen in other digital assets. By contrast, Bitcoin and Ethereum experienced outflows of US$443 million and US$59.5 million last week, with cumulative outflows since the ETF launches reaching US$2.8 billion and US$1.6 billion, respectively.
The mixed flow patterns reflect ongoing caution among investors, with sentiment showing fragility despite strong inflows earlier in the year. Market watchers note that inflows into alternative tokens such as XRP and Solana suggest selective confidence in certain digital assets, while broader market hesitancy persists for major cryptocurrencies.
Notably, CoinShares forecasts that tokenized real-world assets will anchor the next wave of crypto adoption in 2026. The firm expects RWAs, particularly tokenized US Treasuries, to attract trillions of dollars in institutional capital as investors seek higher yields, on-chain transparency, and settlement efficiency.

Global Bond Sell-Off Spreads! Japan 10-Year Government Bond Yield Surges to Highest Level Since 1996
Japan's 10-year government bond yield surged to 3.075%, driven by threefold pressures: US Treasury sell-off, Bank of Japan’s signals towards interest rate hikes, and concerns over fiscal expansion. The yield on 5-year US Treasury bonds breaking above 5% acted as the catalyst, while Japan's plan to raise its defense budget to 3.5% of GDP further intensified market panic. Analysts warn that as the last global anchor of low interest rates begins to shake, yen carry trades face the risk of collapsing, potentially leading to increased market volatility.
