Short and leverage exchange-traded products AUM hits $60 billion after build-up of bullish positions

Boost ETP  Short and leverage exchange-traded products AUM hits $60 billion after build-up of bullish positions. Assets under management in short and leverage exchange-traded products reached $60 billion at the end of August, according to Boost ETP.

This figure was unchanged from the end of July but up 3 percent on the end of December 2013.

August saw short and leverage investors repositioning bullishly in European equities and bearishly in US equities, commented Viktor Nossek, head of research at Boost ETP.

“Tactical, contrarian-style allocations, underpinned by macro risks surrounding Ukraine and the Middle East have triggered the build-up of bullish positions in markets most affected by the crises, in particular helping to drive flows of short and leverage exchange-traded products tracking German and Russian equities.”

The unwinding of large long positions in US equities in turn is likely a result of the robust showing of US equities, he added.

“With broad and tech equities having attained new highs, it has given short and leverage investors an excuse to position bearishly in August. Germany’s record low bond yields have also brought contrarians to the fore, driving the bearish flows seen in exchange-traded products tracking German debt.”

About Boost

Boost ETP, a WisdomTree Company, is an award winning Exchange Traded Products ETP provider and one of few providers of specialised ETPs in the European market, and is the first to focus on Short and Leveraged ETPs. BOOST’s offering targets sophisticated investors including day traders, stock brokers, wealth managers, high frequency traders and institutional investment managers.  Boost is spearheaded by Hector McNeil and Nik Bienkowski who are two veterans of the ETP industry. Both were Managing Partners and major shareholders of ETF Securities (ETFS) and were pivotal in growing ETFS from start-up to $22bn of assets under management by October 2010.

Boost brings something new to the European market with the aim of adding value to investors. This is in contrast to the broad ’supermarket’ offerings that the majority of ETP Issuers provide today. Boost’s offering targets sophisticated investors including day traders, stock brokers, wealth managers, high frequency traders and institutional investment managers.   Our emphasis on thought leadership in the investment management sector will focus significant efforts on educating clients on how to best use the products.

The opportunity to launch one of only a few European independent ETP issuers has arisen from the significant changes currently affecting the ETP world. In a market dominated by large investment banks and diversified financial institutions significant questions are being asked about their respective ETP business models and potential conflicts of interest. Investors and regulators have been looking for more transparency around practices such as stock lending, collateral management and use of in-house hedging techniques.

Are we about to enter “Hyperbitcoinization”?

Publicerad

• The data generally suggest that both the US and Europe may be at the cusp of mass retail adoption – a situation often referred to as “Hyperbitcoinization” in the context of Bitcoin.

• Global crypto asset adoption rates are significantly higher than previously estimated.

• The data generally suggest that both the US and Europe may be at the cusp of mass retail adoption – a situation often referred to as “Hyperbitcoinization” in the context of Bitcoin.

• Chances are that the growth of adoption will surprise to the upside due to the fact that we are most likely at the inflection point from ”Early Adopters” to ”Early Majority”.

Trump recently made a public statement implying that 50 million Americans already held ”crypto”. The most recent surveys among US consumers seem to support this number.

It is no surprise that cryptoassets have become a major topic during the US presidential election as the parties have become increasingly aware that cryptoasset users could play a significant role at the ballot.

Both Trump and Robert Kennedy Jr. are scheduled to deliver a pro-Bitcoin speech at the upcoming Bitcoin conference in Nashville over the weekend.

It seems as if cryptoasset users are not a small minority anymore that can be ignored.

Here are some recent US bitcoin and crypto adoption surveys for comparison (% of total population in brackets):

• Security.org: 93 mn (28%)
• Unchained: 86 mn (26%)
• Statista: 53.6 mn (16%)
• Morning Consult: 44.2 mn (13%)
• Finder: 38.4 mn (11%)

In general, cryptoasset adoption has been on the rise globally.

A recent global survey among institutional investors conducted by Fidelity even implies that 51% of surveyed institutional investors have already invested into cryptoassets such as Bitcoin.

Another recent consumer survey by Statista implies that approximately every 5th person (21%) worldwide has already invested into cryptoassets.

However, it’s important to highlight that among the top 10 regions with the highest adoption rates, 8 regions are developing countries.

So, cryptoasset adoption rates are even significantly higher among developing countries than in developed countries that often suffer from chronically high inflation rates and weak domestic currencies.

That being said, the data generally suggest that both the US and Europe may be at the cusp of mass retail adoption – a situation often referred to as “Hyperbitcoinization” in the context of Bitcoin.

The reason is that technological adoption in general tends to accelerate at the threshold from the so-called “early adopters” to the “early majority” which is around 16% adoption rate based on the model of technological adoption famously put forth by Rogers (1962).

Global adoption rates are already at 21% while adoption rates in the US and Europe are at around 16% and 14%, respectively. So, there is a strong case for an acceleration of adoption rates in these regions and globally over the coming years.

Recent political developments in the US also imply that Bitcoin and cryptoassets are gradually becoming mainstream.

Trump has recently endorsed domestic Bitcoin mining in the US and both Democrats and Republicans have started accepting crypto payments for campaign financing.

The big success of the spot Bitcoin ETFs this year and the fact that additional types of spot crypto ETFs are being launched marks a significant shift in sentiment among US regulators in this regard.

In short, chances are that the growth of adoption will surprise to the upside due to the fact that we are most-likely at the inflection point from ”Early Adopters” to ”Early Majority”.

Bottom Line

• Global crypto asset adoption rates are significantly higher than previously estimated.

• The data generally suggest that both the US and Europe may be at the cusp of mass retail adoption – a situation often referred to as “Hyperbitcoinization” in the context of Bitcoin.

• Chances are that the growth of adoption will surprise to the upside due to the fact that we are most likely at the inflection point from ”Early Adopters” to ”Early Majority”.
