Assessment and forecast
According to an industry report published yesterday (November 6), the level of exposure of global hedge funds to the cryptocurrency market is increasing, with more than half of them now investing in this field. This data is thanks to the US government's easing of policies on digital assets, thereby promoting strong interest from investors.
The survey of 122 investors and fund managers conducted by the Association for Alternative Investment Management (Aima) in the first 6 months of 2025 showed that 55% of hedge funds currently hold a share of assets related to cryptocurrencies, up from 47% compared to the previous year, with an average allocation of about 7% of the portfolio of investment in cryptocurrency.
However, according to Aima and PwC, these investments are still relatively small, with more than half of hedge funds exposed to cryptocurrency investing less than 2% of total assets.
cryptocurrency prices have increased sharply in 2025, as Bitcoin continuously sets new records, driven by US President Donald Trump's support for the industry and cryptocurrency-friendly policies.
However, regulators around the world continue to warn about the risks to financial stability, in the context of the cryptocurrency market increasingly deeply connected to the traditional financial system.
hedge funds that have invested in cryptocurrency said they plan to buy more in the next 12 months. About 67% are investing through cryptocurrency derivatives, allowing them to bet on cryptocurrency price fluctuations without directly holding original assets.
Notably, these derivatives could increase market risks, citing a flash in October, when cryptocurrency prices plummeted, showing "loopholes related to excessive use of leverage and lack of infrastructure at the institutional level".
According to Aima, the surveyed funds are currently managing about $982 billion in assets.
The report also said that the capital flow into hedge funds is increasing sharply, with the total asset value reaching a record high of nearly 5 trillion USD in the third quarter of 2025.
