Oct. 24 crypto market update & Performance attribution Hashdex Crypto Index ETPs
Please find below Hashdex monthly crypto market update and performance attribution for Hashdex Crypto-Index ETPs for October 2024.
With October often showing strong seasonality for crypto assets, this month’s results reflect a promising trend for Bitcoin, although gains were more limited across Altcoins. As outlined in our latest CIO note, “Beyond Trump and Harris: Five Congressional Races That May Impact Crypto’s Future”, several upcoming US congressional races could shape the regulatory landscape for crypto, with potential implications for institutional adoption and future price action. Bipartisan support for the asset class is expected to grow, depending on the results of key races.
We will share some updates during the week, if you need any inputs on US elections, feel free to reach out to us.

Market Update – October 24
October, commonly known as ”Uptober” for its seasonally strong performance for Bitcoin, continued this trend in 2024. The month began with a volatile period, as the Nasdaq Crypto Index (NCI) initially gave back gains from September. All NCI constituents declined in the first ten days, with the exception of Uniswap, which announced plans for its own layer-two network on Ethereum.
Mid-month, the sentiment shifted, with a sharp rally that drove Bitcoin close to its all-time high by the 29th. The NCI ultimately closed the month up 7.1%, significantly outpacing traditional markets as both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 declined slightly. This rally coincided with a sharp increase in former president Donald Trump’s odds in election betting markets, generating additional optimism around Bitcoin.
While Bitcoin posted a robust 10.6% gain, Altcoins generally underperformed. The notable positive exception among altcoins was Solana, which rose 9.0%. In contrast, Ripple declined 18.6% due to ongoing SEC litigation, and Polygon’s MATIC dropped over 20% as it migrated to a new token model (POL).

In comparison with traditional assets, the NCI’s 7.1% gain far outpaced the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, both of which posted slight declines. This performance underscores the potential for crypto assets to provide upside during periods of broader market uncertainty. The majority of this outperformance was driven by Bitcoin’s strength, underscoring its role as a cornerstone of the crypto asset class and its growing appeal as a macroeconomic hedge.

Nasdaq Crypto Index (NCI)
The NCI recorded positive returns for most of its primary constituents, with Bitcoin (+10.6%) leading the gains. Solana (SOL) also contributed positively, rising 9.0%. However, Ripple (XRP) and Polygon’s MATIC weighed on the index, with losses of 18.6% and over 20%, respectively. Ripple’s decline was largely attributed to ongoing legal issues with the SEC, while MATIC’s transition to the POL token created additional downward pressure.

Crypto Momentum Factor Index
The Crypto Momentum Factor Index showed a slight monthly decline of 0.5% in October, reflecting the underperformance of altcoins in general. Although Tron (TRX) remained relatively stable, other altcoins in the index faced headwinds, leading to a small monthly loss for the index.

The Bitcoin Conference 2025 concluded, marking a key moment for crypto’s integration into mainstream finance. With policy insights from VP JD Vance, New York City Mayor’s innovative “BitBond” proposal, and Bitcoin miners exploring new revenue avenues, Bitcoin’s position as a long-term investment is becoming more secure. Read the highlights and how they could redefine the future of ETFs.
Why crypto companies going public is a trend investors should not ignore
Crypto’s coming-of-age moment is here. In 2021, Coinbase became the first crypto company to be publicly listed in the US, sparking a Bitcoin rally. In 2025, major players like Circle, Kraken, and ConsenSys are preparing to go public, marking a historic shift toward transparency, regulation, and mainstream acceptance. These IPOs not only boost investor confidence but also signal crypto’s evolution into a credible, institutional-grade sector poised to reshape financial markets.
The Solana surge: What’s fueling the rally and why it matters for investors
Solana is gaining momentum. With the integration of Dogecoin, real-world asset tokenization, and hardware innovations, Solana is living up to the hype and evolving into a full-fledged ecosystem. As institutional and consumer adoption deepen, Solana’s breakout potential is powered by growing utility, scale, and strategic partnerships across Web3.
