Digital asset investment products recorded $176 million in inflows last week extending the positive run to 10 consecutive weeks hitting huge numbers not recorded in years.
A CoinShares Digital Asset Weekly Fund Flow report shows strong bullish sentiment from investors across multiple countries signaling another uphill run as the year winds up.

The ten weeks of consecutive inflows translate to 4% of the Assets Under Management (AUM) showing a rise in investment after months of struggles in a bear market.
AUM has now surged 107% this year and stands at $46.2 billion following an increase in decentralized finance (DeFi) activity but remains far off the all-time of $86.6 billion posted in 2021.
