The Top 5 Countries With the Most Crypto Hedge Funds
We'd like to share the latest findings by 21e6 Capital, a Swiss investment advisor in the crypto space. They have recently compiled a comprehensive ranking of the top five countries with the most crypto hedge funds.
1️⃣ United States of America
2️⃣ Cayman Islands + British Virgin Islands
3️⃣ Switzerland
4️⃣ Liechtenstein
5️⃣ Germany & Australia
We want to highlight two jurisdictions we work in – Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
#Switzerland with a robust network of banks and service providers, offers an excellent foundation for the crypto industry. Additionally, Switzerland has developed a clear regulatory framework for hedge funds, making it an attractive destination for investors. It is worth noting that while the coverage of service providers and the crypto-friendliness of Swiss banks is moderate, the setup and maintenance of a crypto hedge fund in Switzerland is quite costly.
#Liechtenstein by early adoption of the Liechtenstein Blockchain Act, has gained a reputation for being even more crypto-friendly than Switzerland. European banks and brokers tend to prefer Liechtenstein as a trusted and compliant jurisdiction, making onboarding European professional investors a smoother process. Managing a cryptocurrency hedge fund in Liechtenstein comes with a slightly lower cost compared to Switzerland, although it remains more expensive than operating in the Cayman Islands or the BVI.
