Reviving Crypto: 2023 Rebound Sets Stage for Bullish 2024
In the aftermath of Three Arrows Capital's collapse in May 2022, the crypto hedge fund landscape faced a downturn.
However, surviving funds are now bouncing back and looking towards a bullish 2024.
Pantera Capital, led by industry veteran Dan Morehead, and Chainview Capital, overseen by Dan Slavin, showcased significant recoveries. Pantera’s liquid-token fund surged by nearly 80% after an 80% slump in 2022, while Chainview Capital doubled its performance post an 18% decline.
Stoka Global LP, specializing in altcoins, soared by 268% by November 30, signaling a strong comeback.
While not matching Bitcoin’s 150% rally, the average fund performance climbed 44% in 2023, rebounding from a 52% loss the previous year. Although this rebound is notable, it still trails behind passive crypto funds which scored around 265% returns in the same period.

Looking forward to 2024, optimism prevails. Dan Slavin of Chainview Capital anticipates a potential token resurgence akin to the excitement during Bitcoin’s previous highs. Pantera Capital is bullish on altcoins, recognizing their historical strength in later market rally stages.
Overall, industry leaders are buoyed by Bitcoin’s high price stability and prospects of US approval for crypto ETFs. They foresee positive market dynamics driven by factors like stabilized inflation, changes in Fed policy, and the upcoming Bitcoin supply reduction.
