Getting Institutional: State of Digital Assets in Hedge Funds 2026

Digital assets have spent two years becoming institutional. More hedge fund managers than ever are taking a serious look at digital assets. Many remain sceptical.

The Hedgeweek® Digital Assets State of the Industry 2026, produced in partnership with Arcesium, speaks to both. For the sceptics, we look at what is still really holding them back and it is not what most people assume. Reputation barely registers, and not one manager points to a lack of expertise.

For the convinced, we follow the alpha. Appetite among managers already allocated is rising and nobody is pulling back. We look at which strategies they are running, where they see the next opportunity and why tokenisation has moved first. Then we look at the blind spots.

Managers are confident their operational infrastructure is holding, but the data tells a more complicated story, and it changes the moment a fund takes on additional strategies. Find insights from Brevan Howard Digital, Multicoin Capital, Wincent, Tephra Digital and M55 Capital. Whether you run a digital asset book, are curious but have not yet dipped a toe in, or remain unconvinced the asset class belongs in a hedge fund, this report is for you.
