Options-ETPs unter der Lupe! Ausschüttungsrenditen von 40 % klingen verlockend, aber was steckt wirklich dahinter? Alex spricht im Interview mit Anton von Leverage Shares über Covered-Call- und Cash-Secured-Put-ETPs, über die Mechanik hinter den hohen Ausschüttungen und darüber, wo Chancen liegen und wo man genau hinschauen sollte. Wir gehen die einzelnen Produkte durch, klären die Frage nach Kapitalverzehr und schauen uns an, wie die Strike-Wahl, die Laufzeiten und das Rollen tatsächlich funktionieren.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with André Dragosch, European Head of Research at Bitwise Investments, live at Bitcoin Prague in the Czech Republic. Bitwise manages over $11 billion in AUM and Andre breaks down exactly why institutional investors are quietly rotating capital out of AI stocks and into crypto assets right now. We dig into why Bitcoin behaves more like a CDS on sovereign bonds than an equity hedge, how ETPs solve the custody headache for family offices and pension funds, and why the K-shaped economy in the US is actually one of the most bullish setups Bitcoin has ever seen. Andre also shares where Bitwise is expanding next, including staking on Ethereum and Solana and curated vault strategies. This is one of the most grounded, data-driven macro conversations I have had on the show and I think you will get a lot out of it.

Fineqia International Senior Associate Matteo Greco joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the latest trends in cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs), the growing divergence between digital asset markets and traditional financial markets, and the factors that could drive heightened volatility in the months ahead. Greco highlighted an unusual market dynamic that has emerged since late 2025. While major equity benchmarks such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have continued to reach record highs, cryptocurrency markets have generally struggled to maintain upward momentum, resulting in a notable disconnect between digital assets and broader risk markets. According to Greco, this divergence stands in contrast to the pattern investors became accustomed to over the past several years, particularly following the approval and launch of spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds in the United States. Historically, digital assets often moved in tandem with broader growth-oriented investments, making the current separation between equities and cryptocurrencies particularly noteworthy. One factor contributing to the divergence, Greco suggested, is the concentrated influence of artificial intelligence-related companies within major stock indices. A relatively small number of large-cap technology firms have been responsible for a significant portion of the gains seen across broader equity markets. As a result, headline index performance may not fully reflect conditions across the wider economy or investment landscape. The discussion also focused on Fineqia's latest May Crypto ETP report, which examined investment flows and performance trends across digital asset products. Greco explained that Bitcoin ETPs largely mirrored the performance of Bitcoin itself during the reporting period, with relatively balanced fund flows and limited net inflows or outflows. This suggests investors have generally maintained existing exposure while awaiting clearer market catalysts. Ethereum, however, experienced a more challenging environment. Both Ethereum's price performance and associated ETP flows lagged behind Bitcoin during 2026, reflecting weaker investor sentiment and a more cautious approach toward the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Despite the softer performance of the largest digital assets, Greco pointed to encouraging developments within segments of the altcoin market. Several alternative cryptocurrencies delivered stronger-than-expected returns and attracted increasing investor interest. He described recent market activity as resembling a modest "alt season," where smaller digital assets outperform larger cryptocurrencies and generate increased trading activity. Looking ahead, Greco believes volatility is likely to remain elevated across both crypto and traditional financial markets. He noted that investors continue to face uncertainty surrounding monetary policy decisions, inflation trends, energy prices, and geopolitical developments, all of which have the potential to influence capital flows and risk sentiment. #proactiveinvestors #fineqiainternationalinc #cse #fnq #otc #fnqqf #DigitalAssets #CryptoStrategy #ETP #Cryptocurrency #Bitcoin #Ethereum #CryptoETP #DigitalAssets #Blockchain #CryptoMarkets #ArtificialIntelligence #Investing
Andrew Okrongly, Director of Modern Portfolios at WisdomTree, examines how capital efficiency can help advisors solve one of the harder diversification questions: not whether to diversify, but what has to be sold to make room for it. Rather than treating alternatives, gold, commodities, or managed futures as trade-offs against core equity and fixed income exposure, Okrongly frames capital-efficient ETFs as a way to preserve the exposures clients already need while layering in complementary return streams. That framework extends from efficient core strategies like NTSX to equity-plus-diversifier and inflation-sensitive approaches, with each structure pairing a funded sleeve with a futures overlay. Okrongly also addresses the practical considerations advisors need to understand, including collateral, tax treatment, funding costs, and why the point is not leverage for speculation, but a more flexible approach to modern portfolio construction.

WisdomTree Emerging Markets Efficient Core Fund (NTSX) risk information: While the Fund is actively managed, the Fund's investment process is heavily dependent on quantitative models and the models may not perform as intended. The Fund invests in derivatives to gain exposure to U.S. Treasuries. The return on a derivative instrument may not correlate with the return of its underlying reference asset. The Fund's use of derivatives will give rise to leverage and derivatives can be volatile and may be less liquid than other securities. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning and you may lose money. Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities, and financial instruments related to fixed income securities, will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates and changes to other factors, such as perception of an issuer's creditworthiness. WisdomTree International Efficient Core Fund (NTSI) risk information: Investments in non-U.S. securities involve political, regulatory, and economic risks that may not be present in U.S. securities. For example, foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss due to foreign currency fluctuations, political or economic instability, or geographic events that adversely impact issuers of foreign securities. While the Fund is actively managed, the Fund's investment process is heavily dependent on quantitative models and the models may not perform as intended.

The Fund's use of derivatives will give rise to leverage and derivatives can be volatile and may be less liquid than other securities. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning and you may lose money. Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities, and financial instruments related to fixed income securities, will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates and changes to other factors, such as perception of an issuer's creditworthiness. WisdomTree U.S. Efficient Core Fund (NTSE) risk information: Investments in non-U.S. securities involve political, regulatory, and economic risks that may not be present in U.S. securities. For example, foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss due to foreign currency fluctuations, political or economic instability, or geographic events that adversely impact issuers of foreign securities. Investments in securities and instruments traded in developing or emerging markets, or that provide exposure to such securities or markets, can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions not associated with investments in U.S. securities and instruments or investments in more developed international markets. While the Fund is actively managed, the Fund's investment process is heavily dependent on quantitative models and the models may not perform as intended. The Fund invests in derivatives to gain exposure to U.S. Treasuries. The return on a derivative instrument may not correlate with the return of its underlying reference asset. The Fund's use of derivatives will give rise to leverage. Derivatives can be volatile and may be less liquid than other securities.

WisdomTree Efficient U.S. Plus International Equity Fund (NTSD) risk information: The Fund invests in equity securities of U.S. large-capitalization companies and in index futures contracts that provide exposure to international equity securities, and which are used to enhance the capital efficiency of the Fund. The Fund invests in a basket of equity securities of large capitalization U.S. companies generally weighted by market capitalization. The Fund expects to invest most of its assets in the securities of U.S. companies and is therefore, more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting the United States. The Fund invests in derivatives to gain exposure to U.S. equity securities. The return on a derivative instrument may not correlate with the return of its underlying reference asset. The Fund's use of derivatives will give rise to leverage. Derivatives can be volatile and may be less liquid than other securities. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning and you may lose money. The Fund's investments strategy is subject to risks related to rolling. The price of futures contracts further from expiration may be higher or lower, which can impact the Fund's return. Investments in non-U.S. securities, including depositary receipts, involve political, regulatory, and economic risks that may not be present in investments in U.S. Securities. While the Fund is actively managed, the Fund’s investment process is heavily dependent on quantitative models, and the models may not perform as intended. WisdomTree Inflation Plus Fund (WTIP) risk information: Inflation-protected U.S. Treasury Bonds (“TIPS”), can provide a hedge against inflation, as the inflation adjustment feature helps preserve the purchasing power of the investment. Because of this inflation adjustment feature, inflation protected bonds typically have lower yields than conventional fixed rate bonds and will likely decline in price during periods of deflation, which could result in losses. Fixed income securities are subject to interest rate, credit, inflation, and reinvestment risks. Generally, as interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income securities falls. The value of commodities and commodity-linked derivative instruments typically is based upon the price movements in other asset classes. An active trading market may not exist for certain commodities. The Fund is subject to risks related to rolling futures contracts. The price of futures contracts further from expiration may be higher (“contango”) or lower (“backwardation”), which can impact the Fund's returns. Because of the frequency with which the Fund expects to roll futures contracts, the impact of such contango or backwardation may be greater than the impact would be if the Fund experienced less portfolio turnover. In addition, bitcoin exchange-traded products (ETPs) and bitcoin futures are relatively new and the markets may be less developed. They are subject to unique and substantial risks, and historically, have been subject to significant price volatility. As a result, the markets for bitcoin futures and bitcoin ETPs may be less developed, and at times, potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established commodity futures and ETP markets. While the bitcoin futures market has grown substantially since bitcoin futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth will continue. The Fund may invest in the WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund, a bitcoin exchange traded product, sponsored by an affiliate of the Fund's adviser. The Fund will not invest in bitcoin directly. WisdomTree Efficient Long/Short U.S. Equity Fund (WTLS) risk information: The Fund invests in a basket of equity securities of large capitalization U.S. companies generally weighted by market capitalization. The Fund expects to invest most of its assets in the securities of U.S. companies and is therefore, more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting the United States. The Fund invests in derivatives to gain exposure to U.S. equity securities. The return on a derivative instrument may not correlate with the return of its underlying reference asset. The Fund's use of derivatives will give rise to leverage. Derivatives can be volatile and may be less liquid than other securities. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning and you may lose money. While the Fund is actively managed, the Fund’s investment process is heavily dependent on quantitative models and the models may not perform as intended. WisdomTree Efficient TIPS Plus Gold Fund (GDT) risk information: The Fund invests in a basket of equity securities of large capitalization U.S. companies generally weighted by market capitalization. The Fund expects to invest most of its assets in the securities of U.S. companies and is therefore, more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting the United States. The Fund invests in derivatives to gain exposure to U.S. equity securities. The return on a derivative instrument may not correlate with the return of its underlying reference asset. The Fund's use of derivatives will give rise to leverage. Derivatives can be volatile and may be less liquid than other securities. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning and you may lose money. While the Fund is actively managed, the Fund’s investment process is heavily dependent on quantitative models and the models may not perform as intended. WisdomTree Efficient Gold Plus Equity Strategy Fund (GDE) risk information: The Fund invests in a portfolio composed of Inflation-protected U.S. Treasury Bonds (“TIPS”) and U.S. listed gold futures contracts. The interest and principal payments of TIPS are adjusted for inflation and typically have lower yields than conventional fixed-rate bonds. The Fund's income from TIPS may decline due to deflation or changes in inflation expectations. The value of gold and commodity-linked derivative instruments such as gold futures contracts typically is based upon the price movements of the physical commodity or an economic variable linked to such price movement. Price movements in gold and gold futures contracts may fluctuate quickly and dramatically, have a historically low correlation with the returns of the stock and bond markets. Derivatives are used by the Fund to gain exposure to inflation swaps and U.S. listed gold future contracts. Derivative investments can be volatile and may be less liquid than other investments. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning you may lose money. While the Fund is actively managed, the Fund’s investment process is heavily dependent on quantitative models and the models may not perform as intended.

Fineqia International Inc (CSE:FNQ) senior associate Matteo Greco tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that April's crypto ETP rebound was encouraging but largely price-driven, with genuine inflows still limited as geopolitical tensions and macro uncertainty continued to weigh on sentiment. Basket products were the standout, outperforming single-asset ETPs with what Greco describes as "some genuine demand" — though he cautions it's too early to call a lasting shift. On Ethereum's weak year-to-date performance, Greco is relaxed, describing it as "just a short-term capital rotation and not really a generic problem on the Ethereum side." The key catalysts to watch are oil prices, geopolitical stability and central bank rate decisions. Meanwhile, Greco flags a structural shift in product innovation: "There is definitely a shift towards more yield-bearing products" — a trend he expects to define the next phase of crypto ETP development.

Ignacio Vacchiano, country manager en Iberia de Leverage Shares, analiza IncomeShares, los ETPs de Leverage Shares que llevan ya casi dos años en el mercado repartiendo ingresos mensuales. Son productos que combinan exposición a acciones o activos con estrategias de opciones para generar ese dividendo mensual. Hoy tienen novedades importantes porque acaban de ampliar la gama considerablemente. “Procuramos buscar activos que tengan el interés de los inversores”, afirma el invitado. Estos, para él, pueden ir desde “las materias primas a los valores”. Dentro de estos, el invitado nos aclara que tienen tanto estadounidenses como europeas. Eso sí, todas las inversiones siguen el mismo principio: “buscar las mejores herramientas para el inversor”. ¿Qué son los ETPs y que aporta Leverage Shares a este vehículo? “Es una clase de ETF, son productos cotizados, que con herramientas orquestamos para que coticen en mercado pero que repliquen activos apalancados o no apalancados”, nos explica el country manager en Iberia de Leverage Shares. También puntualiza que “son unas herramientas que lo que hacen es que mediante opciones se obtienen esas primas y estas se reparten en forma de dividendos e intereses a los inversores que tengan esos ETPs”. ¿Cuál es la oferta que tiene la compañía en España? Ignacio Vacchiano nos cuenta que “empezaron con 19 tipos de IncomeShares en junio de 2024, ahora ya estamos 50 en mercado”. ¿Qué aspectos hay que tener en cuenta antes de hacer una inversión? El experto nos aclara que “lo importante es elegir bien el activo, que te gusta el oro, la plata, carbón o bonos”. ¿Cómo funciona el interés en los inversores minoristas? “Vemos el interés en todo tipo de inversores, más inversores que tengan unos activos saludables”, asegura el entrevistado. Sobre la diferencia de activos como Tesla o Coinbase o el oro y la plata pagan yields muy diferentes a lo que paga el oro, el analista afirma que “cuanto más volátil sea el activo subyacente la opción cotiza con más precio”.
Das Briefing: NACHO-Trade, Ölpreis weiter hoch, KI-Rally, Bitcoin & die besten KI-Aktien Der TACO-Trade ist Geschichte. Jetzt sprechen Trader vom NACHO-Trade: keine Chance auf Öffnung der Straße von Hormus. Während Donald Trump offenbar ein Ende des Krieges mit dem Iran prüft, bleibt der Ölpreis über 100 Dollar. Normalerweise wäre das ein massiver Belastungsfaktor für die Märkte. Doch die Kurse steigen weiter. Warum? In dieser Ausgabe von „Das Briefing“, der wöchentlichen Börsensendung für deutsche Privatanleger, schauen wir auf die große Frage der Woche: Warum ignoriert die Börse geopolitische Risiken, hohe Ölpreise und absurde Bewertungen? Die Antwort liegt ausgerechnet in einem Thema, das viele Anleger noch immer als reinen Tech-Hype abtun: Künstliche Intelligenz. KI ist längst kein Mikro-Thema einzelner Unternehmen mehr. KI ist zum dominierenden Makro-Thema geworden. Sie treibt Investitionen, Gewinnerwartungen, Rechenzentren, Halbleiter, Cloud-Infrastruktur und ganze Aktienmärkte. Wir zeigen, warum Aktien wie SK Hynix derzeit kein Halten mehr kennen, warum KI-Sieger weiter massiv gesucht sind und welche KI-Aktien jetzt besonders spannend werden könnten. Wir stellen dir die besten KI-Aktien vor Außerdem sprechen wir über die Rückkehr des Bitcoin. Die Kryptowährung notiert wieder über 80.000 Dollar. Doch wie kauft man Bitcoin sinnvoll? Direkt? Über einen Broker? Über ETPs? Und worauf sollten Anleger achten? Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt: Bewertungen. Denn so absurd es klingt: Einige Aktien sind nach der Rally teilweise günstiger als im Crash. Wie kann das sein? Und wo entstehen dadurch Chancen? Natürlich schauen wir auch auf die Verlierer der Woche: PayPal hat erneut enttäuscht, The Trade Desk und Arista Networks wurden deutlich abverkauft. Dagegen lieferten Datadog, Fortinet und AMD ein echtes Kursfeuerwerk.

Capt. Charles R. Harmon, Branch Head of Enlisted Plans and Policy (OPNAV N132), joins the Permission to Speak Freely Podcast for a conversation on SEM, billet-based advancement, and what Sailors are experiencing across the fleet. The discussion moves through how the system is designed to work, where confusion is coming from, and how decisions are being made at the command and detailer level. Questions from the fleet drive the conversation, touching on ETPs, marketplace dynamics, command involvement, and the gap between policy and understanding. When Capt. Harmon leaves, Career Counselor Chief Joey Sawyer, also known as “Fat Chief,” continues the conversation with a look at the newly released Decision Guide Memorandum 007 and what it could mean for technical standards, command involvement, and how Sailors approach their careers. They also get into email signature etiquette. Do you really need all your collateral duties in your signature? The conversation continues with Joey sharing his approach to discipline, time management, and using small pockets of time to stay consistent, along with how he communicates complex information in a way Sailors can actually use. Respective “Do Betters” are shared. These topics and more are covered in this episode.

Markets don't close when the exchange does. They just move somewhere else.In this episode of MoneyNeverSleeps, Pete Townsend speaks with Alex Pollak of 21Shares about why crypto ETPs are not just surviving the rise of onchain finance — they're about to become part of it.Alex Pollak is Managing Director and Head of UK and New Markets at 21Shares, which provides the largest suite of cryptocurrency exchange-traded products in the world. Drawing on over 20 years in the ETF and ETP industry, Alex explains why the wrapper that made crypto accessible to institutions is now evolving into something programmable, tokenized, and potentially tradeable around the clock.Across crypto, fintech, and traditional finance, the conversation around tokenized assets and 24/7 markets is moving from theory toward product reality. Exchanges, brokers, and issuers are beginning to ask what happens when the underlying assets never sleep but the fund structure still does.Rather than being displaced by direct crypto ownership or onchain alternatives, ETPs may be about to get smarter — evolving from simple access vehicles into programmable baskets that operate inside a financial system that no longer has opening hours.This isn't a crypto-versus-TradFi conversation. It's a discussion about financial infrastructure, total cost of ownership, and how one of the most successful product innovations in market history is quietly reinventing itself.We coverWhy buying crypto directly isn't always cheaper than using an ETPHow total cost of ownership changes the calculation for institutional investorsWhy basket products are the next frontier — and what's holding them backHow regulators in the US, UK, and Europe are shaping the pace of innovationWhy 21Shares wants to tokenize its own ETPsWhat a 24/7 tradeable ETP actually looks like in practiceWhy the long runway for crypto ETPs is just beginningAlex brings a perspective shaped by two decades of watching skepticism turn into a multi-trillion dollar industry — and sees the same pattern emerging in crypto ETPs today.If you're a founder, operator, or investor trying to understand how traditional financial products and onchain systems are beginning to converge, this episode offers a clear-eyed view of where things are heading.00:00 Markets never close: the cold open00:30 Intro and guest welcome01:00 How investors access crypto today02:30 ETPs vs direct ownership: who uses what03:30 Total cost of ownership and the spread argument04:30 How ETP spreads have tightened over time05:00 From single asset to basket products06:00 What regulators in the UK, US and Europe are allowing07:00 The dream: funds as smart contracts08:00 Tokenizing ETPs and the 24/7 market problem09:30 Technology ahead of regulation10:30 The long runway for crypto ETPs11:00 Closing thoughts and where to find 21SharesFor full show notes and guest links, see below.MoneyNeverSleeps explores one big idea each week in under 15 minutes with founders, operators, and investors shaping crypto, fintech, AI, and onchain finance.If you're interested in where financial infrastructure is heading — from tokenized assets and crypto ETPs to programmable markets and onchain settlement — subscribe and join the conversation.
Wie sieht es aktuell in den Kryptomärkten aus? Warum bewegt sich der Bitcoin-Preis gefühlt nur noch seitwärts, und wie geht es weiter? Auf diese Fragen gehen wir heute nur kurz mit unserem Gast ein. Vielmehr sprechen wir über Instrumente, mit denen man flexibel und über eine deutsche Verwahrstelle in Krypto-Assets wie Bitcoin, Ether und Ripple investieren kann. Heute zu Gast bei den Babos: Dirk Hess, Geschäftsführer von nxtAssets. nxtAssets hat genau solche Instrumente aufgelegt – sogenannte ETPs (oder auch ETNs). In der heutigen Folge erklärt Dirk unter anderem, was der Unterschied zu Krypto-ETFs ist, ob, wie und wo genau die Coins über die ETPs verwahrt werden. Auch steuerliche Themen werden angesprochen – und natürlich vieles mehr! Eine äußerst spannende Folge und sicherlich bald eine der meistgehörten Investmentbabo-Folgen. Also schaltet ein – viel Spaß! In diesem Sinne: schönes Wochenende.

In this episode we answer email Serge, Nielsen, Paul and Loren. We dig into the core question that drives every portfolio -- when will this money be spent and by whom -- which dictates how it should be invested, and talk about the website, ETPs and their variations, and thinking about sabbaticals and Coast FI. We also mention our Risk Parity Radio gathering at EconoMe on Friday at the Celare Hotel.And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional Links:The New(ish) Web Page: Risk Parity RadioRetire Often Book: Retire Often | Create a meaningful and enjoyable lifeBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:What is this money actually for—and when will it be used? We build from that deceptively simple question to map two clear paths: an equity-heavy accumulation approach for wealth you won't touch for decades, and a diversified, endowment-inspired design for money you plan to spend or share in the near term. Along the way, we unpack revealed preferences, why giving while living can outperform hoarding for family outcomes, and how to convert volatility into usable cash flow with risk parity principles.We share practical playbooks for different life chapters. If you're sitting on a seven-figure portfolio and dreaming of a sabbatical, hold 1–2 years of cash and let the rest compound in accumulation mode. If you're leaning toward Coast FI, keep retirement assets in equities while your current work covers life today. If you aim to fund 4–5 percent distributions to family or philanthropy, build a portfolio with multiple return drivers—equities for growth, Treasuries for crisis defense, gold and commodities for inflation, and managed futures for trend resilience—plus disciplined rebalancing to support withdrawals through market cycles.We also clear up product confusion: GLD lives under the broader ETP umbrella while functioning like an ETF to most users—structure matters for risks and taxes, so read the prospectus and know what you own. To ground it all, we review the latest market moves—small-cap value strength, gold's lead, managed futures momentum—and walk through sample portfolios, including rebalancing thresholds and what's working now.

Our Research and Investment Management analysts Michael Cyprys and Denny Galindo discuss how and why cryptocurrencies are transitioning from niche speculation to portfolio staples. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Michael Cyprys: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Cyprys, Head of U.S. Brokers, Asset Managers and Exchanges for Morgan Stanley Research.Denny Galindo: And I'm Denny Galindo, Investment Strategist for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management.Michael Cyprys: Today we break down the forces making crypto more accessible and what this shift means for investors everywhere.It's Tuesday, November 11th at 10am in New York.We've seen cryptocurrencies move from the fringes of finance to being considered a legitimate part of mainstream asset allocation. Financial platforms, especially those serving institutional clients, are starting to integrate crypto more than ever.Denny, you've written extensively about the crypto market for some time now among your many jobs here at Morgan Stanley. So, from your perspective in wealth management, what are you hearing from retail clients about their growing interest in crypto?Denny Galindo: Yeah, we actually started writing about crypto back in 2017. We had our first explainer deck, and we started writing extensive educational reports in 2021. So, we've covered it for a while.Advisors who dabble in crypto typically had this one client. He asked a lot of questions about when they could do more. We also had some clients who were curious, maybe their neighbor made a lot of money, bought a new boat and they were like wondering, you know, what is this Bitcoin thing?Now, this year we've seen a sea change. I think it was the election really started it; the Genius Act, and some of the legislation also kind of added to it. Almost all this interest is really on Bitcoin only, although we also have gotten a decent amount of interest about stablecoins and how those might impact things. But it's really just the beginning and I think it's an area that's; it's not going to go away.Mike, on the institutional side, what trends are you seeing among asset managers and brokers in terms of crypto adoption integration?Michael Cyprys: So, we've seen a big move into the ETF space as large money managers make crypto easier to access for both retail and institutional investors. Now this comes on the back of the SEC approving the first spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs back in 2024. And since then, we've seen firms from BlackRock to Fidelity, Franklin, Invesco, and many others, including crypto native firms having launched spot Bitcoin ETFs and spot Ethereum ETFs. And these steps in the minds of many investors have legitimized crypto as an investible asset class.Most recently, we've seen the SEC adopt generic ETF listing standards for crypto ETFs that can make it easier to accelerate ETF launches in reduced regulatory frictions. And today the crypto ETF space is about $200 billion of assets under management and saw inflows of over [$]40 billion last year, over [$]45 billion so far this year – despite some of the near-term volatility. And most of the asset class today is in Bitcoin, single token ETFs, with BlackRock and Fidelity managing the largest ETFs in the space.Speaking of products, what types of crypto are retail investors most curious about? And why do those particular ones make sense for their portfolios?Denny Galindo: Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head. The most popular products are really the Bitcoin products. We as a firm allowed solicitation in Bitcoin ETPs more than a year ago in brokerage accounts. We just expanded them to allow them in Advisory in October. So, we're still early days here. There really hasn't been that much interest in the other crypto products.Now when people think about this, there's three buckets here. There are some people that think of it like digital gold. And they're worried about inflation. They're worried about government deficits. And that's kind of the angle that they're approaching crypto from. A second group think of it like a venture capital, like a disruptive innovation in tech that's going after this big addressable market. And, you know, hopefully the penetration will rise in the future. And then the third bucket is really thinking [of it] out it as a diversifier. So, they're saying, ‘Hey, this thing is volatile. It doesn't match stocks, bonds, other assets. And so, I kind of want to use it for diversification.'Now, Mike, when you have these discussions with institutional clients, how do they view the risk and potential of these different cryptocurrencies?Michael Cyprys: What's interesting with the crypto space is adoption started on the retail side with institutions now slowly beginning to explore allocations. And that's the opposite of what we've seen historically with institutions leaning in ahead of retail in areas, whether it's commodities or private markets. But it's still early days.On the institutional side, we're starting to see some pensions, endowments, foundations begin to make some small allocations to Bitcoin as a long-term inflation hedge. But keep in mind, institutions tend to make investments in the context of strategic asset allocations, often with a broader macro framework.Denny, you've written quite a bit about the four-year crypto cycle. Could you explain what that is and where you think we are in the current crypto cycle?Denny Galindo: Yeah, if you look at the data, you see a pretty clear trend of a four-year cycle. So, there's three up years and one down year, and it's been like clockwork, since Bitcoin was invented.Now when you see something like that, you always try to explain like: why is this happening? So, there's two kind of dominant explanations that we've seen. So, one's macro, one's micro. Now the macro version for crypto is really the M2 cycle. So, we see that M2 to that global M2 money supply has kind of accelerated and decelerated in four-year cycles, and Bitcoin tends to really match that cycle. It tends to accelerate when M2's accelerating and it tends to decline when it's decelerating or declining.But there's also this bottoms-up way of looking at it, and commodities are really the place we go to for that analysis. So, a lot of commodities, you know, could be coffee, could be oil – if something disrupts supply, you tend to get the shortage, you get the price moving up.Then you get commodity speculators piling in, adding leverage. And it'll just kind of go parabolic. At some point something pops the bubble, usually more supply, and then you get like a great depression. You get like an 80 percent draw down. All the leverage comes out and the whole thing crashes. So crypto has also followed that.Now, we break the four-year cycle into four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. And each season has a different characteristic about which parts of the market work, which don't work, what things look like. We are in the fall season right now. And that tends to last about a year. We wrote a note last year on this. Fall is the time for harvest. So, it's the time you want to take your gains.But the debate is, you know, how long will this fall last? When will the next winter start? Or maybe this pattern won't even hold in the future. And so, this is the big debate in the crypto circles these days.And Mike, given the volatility, given the great depressions we talked about in Bitcoin with these, you know, 70-80 percent drawdowns, how do you see it fitting into institutional portfolios compared to other cryptocurrencies?Michael Cyprys: Compared to other cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin is still viewed as the flagship asset within the crypto space – just given higher adoption, greater liquidity, the sheer market value. It has longer history and better regulatory clarity as compared to other tokens. But given the volatility as you mentioned, and the early days nature of cryptocurrencies, adoption is still quite nascent amongst institutional investors.Some institutional investors view Bitcoin as digital gold or macro hedge against inflation and monetary debasement. It's also sometimes viewed as a low correlation diversifier within multi-asset portfolios. But even that's also been a debate in the marketplace too.As we look forward from here, crypto adoption within institutional portfolios could potentially expand as regulatory clarity establishes a clear framework for digital assets, right? We had the Genius Act recently that focused on stablecoins. Next up is market structure. There's a bill working its way through Congress.We've also had developments on the ETF side that lower[s] barriers for institutions to gain exposure there. Not only is it more accessible within traditional portfolios, but the ETF fits nicely into day-to-day workflow.So, bottom line is institutional views on Bitcoin and crypto are evolving, and how firms view Bitcoin – we think will depend upon the institution's objectives, their risk tolerance and portfolio context. And keep in mind that institutional allocations don't turn on a dime. They tend to be slower moving.Denny, do retail clients take a similar approach or are they more likely to take bigger bets?Denny Galindo: Our clients struggle with this question. And so, we get a lot of questions like, ‘Okay, I don't want to miss this. I'm a little nervous about it. What allocation should I use here?' And so, we go back to our three, kind of, typical investors when we try to answer this question. We really try and help people figure out where is equal weight.So, we wrote a note in February called “Are you Underweight Bitcoin?” And we have three different answers depending on how you're thinking of it. And, you know, there's a big debate. There's no clear answer. And that's not really where we want our clients. We want them to be smaller where they can have some exposure if they want it. Not everyone wants it, but if you do want it, you can have it. And it won't really dominate the volatility of the portfolio.Now, on another note, Mike, are you seeing legacy platforms start to offer crypto as well?Michael Cyprys: So crypto ETFs are generally available in self-directed brokerage accounts across the industry today. Schwab, for example, commented that their customers hold $25 billion in crypto ETFs, which is about, call it 20 percent share of the ETF space. But access to these crypto ETFs is a bit more restricted within the Advisor-led channel. But we're starting to see that broaden out for ETFs and eventually might see model portfolios with allocations toward crypto ETFs.But when you look at spot crypto trading, though, that generally remains out of reach of most legacy platforms. The key hurdle for that has been regulatory clarity and with a more crypto friendly administration that is changing here.So, Schwab, for example, acknowledged that they have the regulatory clarity needed and they're working towards launching their spot crypto trading platform in the first half of next year.On that topic, Denny, how do you view the merits of holding crypto directly versus through an exchange-traded product like ETFs?Denny Galindo: Yeah, I mean, our clients are mostly not day trading this product and kind of moving it back and forth.So, the ETPs have been a pretty good answer for them. The one issue is liquidity. And so, we're not used to thinking of this in; the U.S. equity markets are the most liquid markets. But in crypto, the crypto markets, the spot markets are actually more liquid than the equity markets.So, you get a lot of liquidity even after hours, even 24x7. And as other markets around the world kind of take the lead. But most of our investors aren't treating it that way. They're not day trading it, and they're really keeping it more like that digital gold allocation. And so, they just need to adjust the position size, you know, once a month, once a year maybe; just kind of buy and hold.But I wonder, you know, as more people get more comfortable, it could become more important in the future. So, it's an open question, but for now, the ETPs have been a pretty good answer here.Michael Cyprys: Fascinating space.
