All other cryptocurrency assets (coins other than Bitcoin) saw continued positive sentiment with inflows across the board totaling US$27m. Cardano saw the largest inflows of US$10m, which may represent investors actively choosing proof of stake coins based on environmental considerations,” CoinShares mentioned in the report.
