USD) an verwaltetem Vermögen (AUM), was einem Anstieg von 23 % gegenüber dem Vormonat entspricht, angetrieben durch steigende Preise für digitale Vermögenswerte und anhaltende Nettozuflüsse von 48 Mio. CAD (33,5 Mio. USD) im Januar, angetrieben durch eine starke Nachfrage nach ETPs wie XRP, SUI und DOGE.
