Investors’ fears of losing opportunities revive “digital assets”

Crypto.com is among the most downloaded applications.

Not surprisingly, many are drawn to the cryptocurrency space.

Since last July, AUMs for digital asset investment products have increased by more than 57%, to nearly $55 billion. Average daily total trading volumes also increased by more than 46% to $544 million, the largest month-on-month rise since last May.
