The WisdomTree
Crypto ETP centre
When Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin whitepaper in 2008, one of the objectives was to remove third-party intermediaries when conducting digital monetary transfers, therefore creating a decentralised, global digital payments platform: Bitcoin. This novel use of blockchain technology started a technological chain reaction that has spread far and wide outside the “payment sphere”. Cryptocurrencies spanning across the WisdomTree Digital Assets Taxonomy have since evolved from the primary use case of payments to advanced computing platforms, powering the next evolution of the internet, web3.
With a global market cap of $1.74 Trillion1, digital assets represent roughly 1% of the listed investment universe, yet are one of the best performing assets over the last decade2. Today, the argument for having some exposure to cryptocurrencies within portfolios is stronger than ever – after all, choosing not to invest in the asset class results in an active underweight versus the market-weighted portfolio. Our research indicates that by including digital assets in a multi-asset portfolio, investors can reap the benefits of increased diversification, enhanced risk-return profile, as well as asymmetric growth potential that is inherent to this innovative technology.
