During the week of Mar. 6 – 12, the total assets under management (AuM) recorded a 10% decline, which “wiped out the inflows seen this year,” according to the report.

Litecoin (LTC) and Tron (TRX) also recorded 300,000 outflows each. On the other hand, Solana (SOL), Ripple (XRP), and Polygon (MATIC) ended the week by growing 400,000, 300,000, and 100,000, respectively.
