At the Family Offices & Asset Management Summit (FOAM), a strategic question emerged: are crypto-assets now a fully-fledged institutional asset class?
In this interview, Benjamin Ittah, Head of International Markets at Hashdex, analyzes the market's turnaround, particularly since the launch of Bitcoin ETFs in the US, which he sees as a key moment of institutionalization.
Beyond Bitcoin, he highlights the rapid evolution of the US regulatory framework, from the regulation of stablecoins to discussions around the tokenization of real assets. For him, these advances reflect the gradual integration of the crypto ecosystem into the traditional financial system.
In this context, Hashdex sees blockchain as part of a broader dynamic of technological transformation, at the crossroads of the Internet, artificial intelligence and the digitization of value transfer.
For Benjamin Ittah, the question is no longer whether investors should consider this asset class, but how to structure an appropriate, diversified and institutional exposure.
A structuring exchange on an asset class that is now difficult for long-term investors to ignore.
