CFB Talks Digital Assets - Episode 4
In the latest episode of CFB Talks Digital Assets podcast we review yet another tumultuous quarter of deleveraging triggered by yet another big counterparty collapse. Recorded December 8th, 2022
As Lead Research Analyst Gabe Selby points out, despite all digital asset categories remaining in the red throughout the quarter, as reflected by negative returns for our regulated crypto portfolio indices, scaling protocols were relatively defensive.
Watch to find out which one fared best ★ What that has to do with the definitive DeFi milestone for JPMorgan Chase & Co. in the quarter ★ And why fading Ether dominance of the BTC/ETH ratio helps set up the best conditions we’ve got (for now) for more constructive price action in the current quarter.

Weekly Index Highlights, March 23, 2026
Crypto’s retreat deepened into the end of last week, with Bitcoin -6.5% and ETH -9%. DeFi and Culture tokens were also particularly pressured. Just as concerning, APT's staking reward rate halved, realized BTC volatility overshot implied, and Bitcoin funding kinked sharply at the front end.

Factor Friday - March 20, 2025
The market's strongest four-week rally of 2026 saw liquidity top weekly factor rankings for the first time, signaling broadening risk appetite beyond value and growth. Downside beta's lead is eroding fast. The rotation is encouraging, but with YTD losses at -28.4%, a full risk-on pivot is premature.
