CFB Talks Digital Assets Episode 18: Two Steps Forward, One Step Back: June-September 2023 Crypto Market Review
It’s time for another crypto podcast and this time we’re featuring our latest Quarterly Attribution Report (QAR) in this edition of CFB Talks Digital Assets!
This one is for the June-to-September QAR, written, as usual, by Lead Research Analyst, Gabe Selby, CFA.
Remember, QARs are designed to help investors understand the performance of digital assets through the lens of our CF Digital Asset Classification Structure (CF DACS), the only comprehensive taxonomy of the blockchain economy from a regulated Benchmark Administrator.
Top talking points this episode:
- How key events like BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF filing propelled prices higher at the start of the QAR period
- Why Bitcoin Cash rallied 200% at one point, closing out the stretch as the strongest performer in our CF Broad Cap Index
- Signs that crypto could soon reestablish its former long-standing de-correlation from stocks
- September strikes Bitcoin yet again! Find out why October is odds on to be golden for BTC
- Despite crypto’s outperformance in the quarter, learn why the asset class still has relatively more room on the upside in coming months

Alpha in the Aftermath: Moving Beyond the 60/40
Regulatory clarity is poised to support digital assets despite macro headwinds. The GENIUS Act greenlights USD stablecoins, while the SEC moves to fast-track multi-token spot ETFs. Corporate treasuries may add ETH and SOL, as tokenized equities lift block demand and staking yields.
