Interesantan je zaključak studije da najveće firme pokazuju najveću verovatnoću a će ulagati u kropto, za razliku od „alternativnih”. Da li to treba shvatiti kao znak da je kripto postao mejnstrim?

Thirty-one percent of hedge fund managers, 24% of alternative investors, and 13% of private equity managers said they planned to add crypto to their portfolios in the next one to two years. Managers of the largest firms–hedge funds overseeing more than $10 billion or investors with $2 billion to $10 billion–were most likely to be planning to get into crypto, according to the study.
“Alternative investment” has been an umbrella term for anything that’s not a stock, bond, or cash. That could include precious metals, art, and real estate. It could even be a binder of rare, holographic Pokemon cards or a wine collection. It may seem like cryptocurrencies would be a perfect fit among the alternative crowd, but that hasn’t been the case.
Only 7% of alternative fund managers and investors interviewed for the EY study said they or their firms already have “crypto-related assets” in their portfolio. Of those holding cryptocurrencies directly, derivatives (futures or options) and providing funding to private blockchain companies were the most popular forms of participation.
