Uncertainty and Liquidations Collide with Monetary Tailwinds & Adoption Breakthroughs
Our Quarterly Attribution Report distills how digital assets navigated the quarter’s conflicting forces, from the Fed’s first rate cut and new SEC listing standards to the launch of the first US spot Solana staking ETF. The period also saw the largest liquidation event in crypto history and renewed macro pressure into November, even as infrastructure progressed with the introduction of the Bitcoin Volatility Indices.
CF IDAX grew to 8 assets with 6 big additions, now covering 94%+ of investible cap. LINK joined Large Cap with no exits. Broad Cap rose to 49, adding projects across Digital Culture, Blockchain service providers and smart contract platforms. Buffering kept several names in, despite slipping outside the 99th percentile.
November turned sharply risk-off as fading hopes for a December rate cut hit sentiment as BTC slid to low $80Ks and ETP outflows spiked. Volume picked up with the new CME CF BVX launch. A second wave of US spot ETFs broadened access. Mega-caps outperformed as broad benchmarks fell 18–27%.
