Traditional Investing & Portfolio Theory

Is crypto an asset class?

Crypto is increasingly treated as a distinct asset class because digital assets share common traits, trade on their own markets, and behave differently from equities or bonds. It remains a young and highly volatile category, and views on its role in a portfolio still vary. For example, some investors hold a small allocation alongside traditional assets to access a different return pattern. Treating crypto as one allocation decision among many is the disciplined framing Qatobit is built around, with research-led, documented index methodology behind each QSI index. Explore the methodology to see how that allocation is constructed.

Crypto investments are subject to market risk and volatility. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. This is general information, not investment advice — consider your own circumstances or consult a qualified adviser before investing.
