Introducing the Q2 Guide to Crypto Markets by Coinbase Institutional and Glassnode.

This second instalment analyzes price trends and key themes in the digital asset landscape in 2024.

Some highlights from the 59-page guide:

- Data on the bull: The last two bull markets lasted 3.5 years; currently, we're 1.5 years into another. Previously, price increases reached 113x and 19x, with this cycle ‘only’ reaching 4x so far.

- Rising popularity, rising maturity: As the crypto market grows, spot Bitcoin ETFs boost accessibility for institutional investors. Last quarter, they attracted $12B and now hold $60B in BTC, becoming key market influencers and among the fastest-growing ETFs.

- The perfect diversifier? From April 2019 - March 2024, adding a small crypto allocation to a traditional 60/40 portfolio notably boosted returns: a 3% allocation yielded 52.9% returns, & a 5% allocation brought 67.0%, far surpassing the traditional strategy’s 33.3% returns.
