Weekly

Each week, the digital assets team extracts signals from the deluge of market noise. Their in-depth market strategy reports include thoughts on market direction, explanations of market events, insights about where major risks might be hiding, and analysis of where the alpha opportunities in the digital assets market are – a centralized source of actionable information for a broad range of crypto investors.

What to expect from the Crypto Strategy

  • Sean Farrell and the rest of the team summarize the week’s most impactful market events and conditions affecting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the rest of the crypto ecosystem.
  • The team aggregates macro, on-chain, derivatives, and qualitative data to provide investors with their insights on the week’s movements and trends.
  • The Weekly editions often feature a discussion of alpha opportunities that go beyond more widely known large-cap buy-and-hold strategies.
  • Crypto Strategy also helps to keep readers informed of any changes to our large-cap Core Strategy (more on this below).
Rebalanced At Analyst’s Discretion

A powerful tool designed to help crypto investors build a crypto portfolio that outperforms the industry’s king – bitcoin – regardless of market conditions. The FSI Crypto team leverages their crypto expertise and ongoing analysis of macro, on-chain, and market data to craft an allocation strategy that can help investors manage the crypto portion of their investment portfolios.

How to Use the Crypto Core Strategy

  • The strategy incorporates stablecoins, bitcoin, and select altcoins that have been selected from the largest by circulating market cap and then carefully assessed by the crypto team.
  • The Crypto Core Strategy also helps investors better understand the team’s views on risk in the markets: A higher allocation of stablecoins in the strategy indicates that the team is feeling risk averse, while a lower allocation indicates that the team believes the time is right to seek out beta.
  • The alt-coin allocation in this strategy can also be used as an assessment of the team’s views on this segment of the crypto ecosystem. Watch this allocation to gauge whether the team believes “alt season” is approaching or not.
