Derek Andersen4 hours agoPwC hedge fund survey finds crypto remains viable despite recent market turmoilThe portion of traditional hedge funds investing in crypto fell, but many of those still in the market plan to increase crypto investing this year.1024 Total views49 Total sharesListen to article 0:00NewsJoin us on social networksPwC released its fifth annual global crypto hedge fund report on July 12 based on surveys of crypto-native and traditional hedge funds conducted in the first quarter of 2023. Against the backdrop of the recent crypto winter and continuing regulatory uncertainty in the United States and elsewhere, the report found a rather positive outlook among the funds.


Crypto-native hedge funds are “working towards achieving a new industry dynamic which centres around rebuilding confidence and making their needs heard,” and nearly all of them (93%) expect the market cap to rise over the year, the report found. The majority of them (53%) reported no exposure to FTX or the Terra Luna ecosystem.imagine paying your crypto hf 2% comish on this performance

Most of the funds performed better than the price of Bitcoin (BTC) in 2022. The report found:“Crypto hedge funds remain popular investment vehicles for investors seeking exposure to the crypto-asset market.”


More than half of the funds (54%) have operations in the U.S., but those funds did not respond differently from others to U.S. regulations, with 42% saying those regulations are not expected to impact them. The funds listed segregation of assets (75%), financial audits (62%) and an independent statement of reserve assets (60%) as requirements they would like to see for trading venues.


Tokenization seems not to have made a big splash in the sector. Only 15% of funds are considering investing in tokenized securities, and only 4% tokenize units in their own funds.

The portion of traditional hedge funds that invest in crypto fell from 37% in 2022 to 29% in 2023. Of the funds still investing in crypto, 62% hold less than 5% of their assets under management in crypto and only 8% hold more than 20% in crypto. Forty-six percent of those respondents said they would increase crypto investing this year, down from 67% last year. None of them said they would decrease their capital levels deployed in crypto.


Among the funds not investing in crypto, “client reaction or reputational risk” has overtaken “regulatory uncertainty” as the main reason, but 40% said that the removal of regulatory barriers would not move them to begin investing in crypto.


PwC partnered with alternative asset manager CoinShares to survey 131 crypto-native funds. The Alternative Investment Management Association obtained data from 59 traditional hedge funds for that section.
