2018 Crypto Fund Launches
2017 was a record year for launches of new cryptocurrency investment funds. However, even with declining cryptocurrency prices, 2018 surpassed 2017 for the most new crypto fund launches. 284 crypto funds were launched in 2018.
The United States is home to more crypto fund launches than any other country. This is not terribly surprising and is consistent with the US leading the world in terms of hedge funds and venture capital generally. However, we are also continuing to see new crypto funds launched in Asia, Europe, as well as offshore. Even Mexico now lays claim to having a cryptocurrency hedge fund.
Below you will find a list of cryptocurrency fund launches for 2018.
