BCA Crypto: A Research Series On Cryptocurrencies After A Turbulent Three Years

Welcome to BCA Crypto - a research series on cryptocurrencies. Over the next few months, we will release a series of reports analyzing this polarizing asset class. In this introductory report we distinguish between fact and fiction, clearing some of the misconceptions that investors often have about the cryptocurrency market, cryptocurrency custody, market participants, risk, return and correlation. We conclude that while the correlation between equities and cryptocurrencies will stay relatively high until the end of the cycle, at least for Bitcoin, this correlation probably peaked last year.
