“Half of 2024 is behind us.
As we enter the second half and third quarter of 2024, Ethereum and Bitcoin are once again leading growth among other traditional asset classes.
Since the approval of the Bitcoin ETF in January, asset managers no longer have any excuse not to have Bitcoin as part of their asset allocation strategy.
As a result, Bitcoin in particular has once again become the best-performing asset so far this year.”
