It’s time for another episode of CFB Talks Digital Assets and this time we’re featuring our latest Quarterly Attribution Report (QAR)! This QAR is written, as usual, by Lead Research Analyst, Gabe Selby, CFA. In this episode, Ken and Gabe discuss the following topics:
- Could SEC-approved crypto ETFs spark mainstream adoption?
- CME futures interest is surging on ETF hopes. Are spot Bitcoin and Ether funds a watershed moment?
- Our crypto indices beat stocks again. Are Web 3.0 and DeFi leaving equities in the dust?
- Interest rate expectations shift for 2024. What's the outlook for crypto as inflation declines?
This is an instalment that you surely do not want to miss!
