Bitwise CEO: US wealth management channel inflows reach eight-year high amid market downturn

BlockBeats report: On May 7, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley spoke at the Consensus2026 conference:

Last year, the market declined in the fourth quarter, and this year it continued to fall in the first quarter. However, capital inflows from U.S. wealth management channels hit the highest level of any quarter in the past eight years. In other words, for financial advisors in the wealth channel, the first quarter of this year was the best-performing quarter for their investments in these products. So, when the market dropped, they chose to buy the dip.
