Crypto Asset Inflows Fall To Three-Year Lows Amid 63% Bitcoin Drawdown
Crypto asset inflows recorded one of their worst years in 2022. The year had been one fraught with market dips and crashes that saw over $ 2 trillion wiped off its market cap. Investors responded to this by pulling their money out of the market, and institutional investors invested the lowest cumulative figure they had done since 2018.
Institutional Crypto Investors Get Wary
A report from CoinShares outlines the year 2022 in review and how the crypto assets being invested in had done. It showed that for the whole of the year, the total inflows came out to $ 433 million. Now, the last time that inflows from these investor classes had been this low was back in 2018 when the figure had come out to $ 233 million.

From The BPI To Treasury: Bitcoin Is A Strategic Asset for National Security
The BPI took on the U.S. Department of Treasury’s challenge. Treasury requested public comment on digital assets’ national security implications, and the Bitcoin Policy Institute answered with a bomb of a document. It explains the overall value of bitcoin as a tool for freedom. It compares bitcoin to classic US-funded initiatives like Radio Free Europe and the Tor network. It touches the heartstrings and exposes the case in a convincing way.
Today, @USTreasury requested public comment on the national security implications of digital assets.
In response, @matthew_pines and I submitted this report, detailing how #bitcoin promotes American interests and values abroad. https://t.co/AOyWDH3p4v

Bitcoin Leaves Other Asset Classes in Dust as Market Stars Align
By CCN Markets: Investors who are not generating returns in 2019 are clearly looking in the wrong place. Considering bitcoin claimed a fresh 2019 high to nearly $ 9,400 over the weekend, other asset classes have a hard act to follow. Gains across the stock market and commodities including oil and precious metals such as gold pale in comparison to bitcoin’s, and investors must be kicking themselves for not recognizing the opportunity in crypto. There’s no shortage of explanations as to what is fueling bitcoin’s rise, ranging from the U.S./China trade war to Facebook’s new stablecoin to the Federal Reserve. The
