Happy New Year! On behalf of the Hashdex team, I wish you success and prosperity in 2025. As we enter the new year, we are filled with optimism about the opportunities ahead in the crypto asset market. The current market dynamics, regulatory advancements, and increasing institutional adoption continue to strengthen the foundation for growth. At the core of our outlook lies the stronger investment case for crypto index strategies—an effective way to capture the evolving opportunities in this dynamic asset class.
Notably, since the US elections, our Multi-Crypto Index ETPs have been outperforming Bitcoin, demonstrating the value of diversified exposure in this bull cycle.
December started strong, with the Nasdaq Crypto Index (NCI) climbing nearly 10% by mid-month, driven by optimism surrounding pro-crypto sentiment in the U.S. administration and strong inflows into Ethereum ETFs. However, the Federal Reserve’s December 18 announcement—indicating fewer-than-expected rate cuts in 2025—triggered a trend reversal across risk assets. The NCI ended December down 4%, but the year concluded with a +101% gain.
As highlighted in our CIO’s December Notes, we are firmly in a crypto bull cycle. Altcoins historically outperform Bitcoin in these cycles, and the NCI’s continued outperformance of BTC further signals this trend. Over the past three months, the NCI has returned +47.9%, compared to BTC’s +43.1%.

Despite December’s pullback, crypto remains a high-growth investment category, with strong fundamentals supporting further outperformance in 2025.
