According to sources from Reuters, on December 18, 2024, the global financial market is witnessing significant fluctuations with a series of news related to economic policies and movements of large investment funds. Among them, the 'macro' investment strategy is becoming the top choice for hedge funds in 2025 as President-elect Donald Trump attracts the attention of investors due to global policy decisions that may affect economic conditions and financial markets.
Investment funds have benefited from market fluctuations this year, and investors are preparing for new volatility next year. According to a survey by Societe Generale, about two-fifths of investment companies plan to invest in macro strategies, while interest in government bond trading has decreased. In this context, commodity and equity funds rank second and third in terms of investment interest.
Although coin-focused hedge funds in 2024 have achieved an annual profit of 24.5%, investment in cryptocurrencies is seen as less favorable for 2025. Experts believe that high volatility is one of the factors making investors hesitant to invest in crypto. However, with Trump supporting digital assets and promising favorable regulations, this situation may soon change.
The NextGen Digital Venture fund in Hong Kong, specializing in cryptocurrency-related stocks, has grown by up to 116% this year thanks to investments in stocks like Coinbase, MicroStrategy, and Marathon Digital Holdings. This indicates significant potential for indirect investment in coins through stocks.
However, the altcoin market still faces many challenges as unregulated digital asset exchanges lead to reputation risks and fraud. Investors' hesitation to make significant investments in this area is also a barrier.
Changes in attitudes towards crypto investment are underway, and many funds have updated their investment documents to include exposure to cryptocurrencies. With thorough preparation and the development of a legal framework, the future of crypto may be brighter, attracting the interest of large investors.
This information is provided by Reuters, the crypto investment environment promises to have many exciting fluctuations in 2025.
