SPEAKERS’ CORNER
- November was a very active month for us and we held many conversations with investors — interest in digital assets has increased significantly compared with the summer months.
- This is primarily due to the recent uptick in press coverage of a possible approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs in the US.
- Should approval be granted, which the broader market currently expects, a large inflow of liquidity into digital assets is anticipated, including from institutional investors.
- We too were able to record inflows into our Web3 special AIF ahead of this upcoming event.
