Digital asset investment products have lost a total of $1 billion in small trades (up to $9 million) between August 15 and August 21, down to 55% of their total. The year’s average and the second low in 2022, as reported by Coinshares weekly.

Much of the decline came from the US, Germany, and Sweden. Countries recorded outflows of $10 million, $2.4 million, and $2.1 million, respectively. Small inflows were recorded from Brazil, with $2.5 million, and Switzerland, with $1.9 million.

Even so, the market fell to its second low of the year, showing low levels of investor participation. Last week’s upward price movement could also boost sales from investors looking for short-term profits.
