Valuation model for cryptocurrencies.


Investors considering cryptocurrency investments through hedge funds should be aware of the lack of a dominant valuation model for cryptocurrencies. However, three models have gained traction: the Network to Transaction Ratio (NVT Ratio), the "Bitcoin as Gold 2.0" narrative, and the Cost of Mining Multiple.


The performance of crypto hedge funds varies, with fundamental and discretionary funds experiencing significant losses in 2018, while quant funds have shown resilience, recording impressive returns despite market downturns. Quantitative strategies, including technical analysis and real-time data analysis from social platforms, have demonstrated efficacy in navigating the highly speculative crypto market.
