Institutional Interest in Crypto & DeFi to be discussed at Super Crypto Conference 2021
2 min readA survey on June from the Intertrust Group, a Dutch trust and corporate management company, found that 98% of hedge funds — an “overwhelming majority,” states the survey — will have some kind of crypto exposure by 2026, in a major vote of confidence for digital assets after recent large price falls and plans for punitive new capital rules.
The last few months’ frenzy of institutional money flowing into cryptocurrency has seen crypto hitting the headlines — at the least as a novelty asset, at the most as a must-have. There is undoubtedly a trend in the market toward greater awareness and acceptance of digital assets as a new investable asset class.
