The digital asset market outperformed the All Ordinaries Index and gold (AUD) over the month. Additionally, the approval of eight spot Ethereum ETFs by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) contributed to significant price gains for Ethereum, closing at US $3,760.
'It was good to see a rebound in digital assets in May buoyed by the Ethereum ETF approvals and macro events. Whilst we were narrowly outperformed by the S&P Cryptocurrency Top 10 Equal Weight index (AUD), both our Digital Asset Fund and the Index outperformed Bitcoin. We are well positioned for an alternatives rally noting that the 'Alts' space has now begun to gain steam on its own ETF narrative. Very pleasingly there is a lot of positive momentum in the real world asset tokenisation (RWAT) narrative and a lot of activity with institutions in this space. We are building the portfolio for this scaling up activity in 2024. Many networks and protocols appear to be incorporating RWAT strategies and gaining great momentum with early institutional testing which could prove to be pivotal as projects go live.'
