However, the tides turned in November when the same amount was withdrawn as the entire crypto market bled out. Over $1 billion was pulled out in December and another $1.6 billion in January.<\/p>\n<p>February saw a substantial reduction in investor exodus, but it was still in the red, with net outflows of $206 million. March finally snapped this four-month streak, with net inflows of $1.32 billion. April was even better.
