The total volume of assets under management increased by 9.4% to reach $140 billion. Experts noted that in times of market instability, investors continue to view digital assets, primarily Bitcoin, as a safe haven.

The majority of the inflow (96%) was driven by investors from the United States. Hong Kong, Canada, and Switzerland accounted for $23.1 million, $19.4 million, and $10.4 million, respectively.

Germany recorded its first weekly outflow of the year, amounting to $17.1 million.
