Digital asset-based investment products showed an outflow of $20 million, which coincided with a large equity sale.

In early May, bitcoin funds faced their biggest weekly capital outflow since June 2021. The outflow amounted to $133 million, the last seen after China banned mining and Tesla refused to accept BTC.
