Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies and tokens secured by cryptography and recorded on blockchains. Their prices are set by markets that trade around the clock and can move sharply in either direction.
FUNDS · RESEARCH ACROSS THE DIGITAL-ASSET LANDSCAPE
Digital Assets
Digital assets have become a significant area of interest for institutional and retail investors. Glenmorgan's approach combines specialist fund management with research into how the sector, its infrastructure and its regulation are developing.
01 / CRYPTOCURRENCY
Cryptocurrency
explained.
02 / BLOCKCHAIN
Blockchain
technology.
Blockchains are shared ledgers maintained across networks of computers. They make it possible to record and transfer value without a single central record-keeper, and are being explored for payments, settlement and tokenised assets.
03 / DIGITAL FINANCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Building
the infrastructure.
Custody providers, exchanges, payment networks and data services form the infrastructure of the digital-asset market. Its maturity affects how safely and efficiently investors can participate.
04 / DECENTRALISED FINANCE
DeFi
in context.
Decentralised finance applies blockchain software to lending, trading and other financial services. It is innovative but young, with risks from software flaws, market stress and regulatory change.
05 / INSTITUTIONAL ADOPTION
Institutional
adoption.
Glenmorgan has noted rising institutional participation in digital assets, supported in 2024 by ETF approvals and growing media attention. Institutional involvement can improve market infrastructure but does not remove volatility.
06 / REGULATION
Regulatory
developments.
Rules for digital assets differ by country and continue to evolve. Changes in regulation, taxation or the classification of assets can affect prices, access and investor protections. Compensation schemes may not cover digital-asset investments.
07 / RISKS
Key
risks.
- Extreme price volatility
- Regulatory and tax uncertainty
- Cyber-security, custody and operational risk
- Liquidity risk in stressed markets
- Possible loss of the entire investment
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Digital Assets
questions.
Does Glenmorgan offer direct cryptocurrency trading?
No. Glenmorgan provides exposure to digital assets through managed funds, such as the Digital Asset Innovation Fund, rather than a trading service.
Are digital assets regulated?
Regulation varies by country and is still developing. Investor protections may be more limited than for traditional investments.
