Белгисиз сууларда навигация: башкаруудагы кыйынчылыктар А Bitcoin фонд
After FTX collapsed, scornful critics widely ridiculed Caroline Ellison's approach to stop losses. 'I just don't don't think they're an effective risk management tool,' she infamously told an audience during FTX's heyday. But did she have a point?
Venturing into the crypto asset management realm presents a unique set of challenges that differ widely from the traditional fund space. In this primer piece, we will delve into the obstacles that aspiring fund managers face when launching a bitcoin sector fund and examine the key differences that exist when you step outside the world of traditional asset management.
Туруксуздук жана тобокелдиктерди башкаруу
One of the most significant challenges faced by bitcoin sector funds is the extreme volatility that exists within the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin's price has witnessed strong bullish surges, driving excitement among investors. However, it has also experienced strong bearish declines, leading to substantial losses for those unprepared for such price swings. Managing risk in such a dynamic environment requires sophisticated strategies, rigorous risk frameworks and assessments, and a deep understanding of market trends.
Unlike most traditional and mainstream blue chip assets, which often experience relatively stable price movements, bitcoin's price can change meaningfully within a matter of hours. Consequently, bitcoin sector fund managers must be well-equipped to handle sudden price fluctuations to protect their investors' capital. Traditional stop loss structures may not work to the extent expected, as the closing market order may get executed far below the preset trigger price due to orderbook slippage and rapid price movements, the proverbial “catching of a falling knife”. Using tight stop losses as a foundational risk management mechanism can be your enemy. For example, in a flash crash scenario, positions may be automatically sold at a loss even though the market reverted a few minutes (or seconds) later.
Stoploss альтернатива болсо да, алар эмес тандоо! Опциондор - бул сиз сатып ала турган келишимдер, алар сизге белгилүү бир активди алдын ала белгиленген баада (б.а., иш таштоо баасы) белгилүү бир убакта (б.а., жарактуулук мөөнөтү) сатып алууга же сатууга укук берет. Активди сатып алуу опциону – бул чалуу, ал эми сатуу опциясы – бул. Акчаны сатып алуу (башкача айтканда, учурдагы баадан алда канча төмөн) баанын кулап түшкөндө, сиздин мүмкүн болуучу жоготууларыңызга негиз болуп бере алат. Муну өзүңүздүн позицияңызды камсыздандыруу үчүн төлөнгөн премиум катары эсептеңиз.
Sometimes to defend against binary result events or particularly high volatility timeframes you just have to flatten your positions and take no risk, living to fight another day in the bitcoin market. Think for example of key protocol update dates, regulatory decisions or the кийинки Bitcoin halving; though note the market moves ahead of those events so you may have to take action beforehand.
Creating an effective risk management plan for a bitcoin sector fund may involve using various hedging techniques, product and instrument diversification (potentially across asset classes), trading venue risk scoring and risk-adjusted allocations, dynamic trade sizing, dynamic leverage settings, and employing robust analytical tools to monitor market sentiment and potential market and operational risks.
Камкордук жана коопсуздук
The custody of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is a critical aspect that distinguishes bitcoin sector funds from their traditional counterparts. One key difference is that unlike traditional exchanges that only match orders, bitcoin exchanges do the order matching, margining, settlement, and custody of the assets. The exchange itself becomes the clearinghouse, concentrating counterparty risk as opposed to alleviating it. Decentralized exchanges come with a unique set of risks as well, from fending off miner-extracted value to being ready to move assets in case of a protocol or bridge hack.
Ушул себептерден улам санариптик активдерди уурдоодон же хакерликтен коргоо үчүн көп кол тамгалуу протоколдорду, муздак сактоочу чечимдерди жана тобокелдикке мониторинг жүргүзүү куралдарын камтыган, бирок алар менен чектелбестен, бекем коопсуздук чаралары талап кылынат. Жеке ачкычтарды коопсуз башкаруу жана ишенимдүү соода жайларын тандоо жана көзөмөлдөө жоопкерчилиги толугу менен фонддун менеджерине жүктөлөт. Рыноктук инфраструктурага мониторинг жүргүзүү оордугунун өзү салттуу фондду башкарууда жок техникалык татаалдыктын деңгээлин киргизет, мында сактоо жана эсептешүү стандартташтырылган жана товардаштырылган өз алдынча системалар болуп саналат.
Custodial solutions for bitcoin sector funds must be carefully selected, ensuring that assets are protected against cyberattacks and insider threats. With the history of high-profile cryptocurrency exchange hacks, investors are particularly concerned about the safety of their assets; any breach in security could lead to significant financial losses and damage the reputation of the fund.

Ишке киргизүү a bitcoin sector fund is a thrilling endeavor that offers unprecedented opportunities for investors seeking exposure to the fast-growing cryptocurrency market.
