We were delighted to co-host a private dinner with @HilbertCapital in Singapore, bringing together institutional investors for an evening offering a unique opportunity to hear directly from the Kingdom of Bhutan about its journey from producing Bitcoin to managing it as a sovereign asset — and building a broader digital asset ecosystem around Gelephu Mindfulness City (@gmcbhutan).

The discussion also explored how institutional engagement with digital assets is evolving, with a focus on the key considerations around portfolio allocation, custody, and structuring.

Our partnership with GMC is an important illustration of our commitment to institutional stewardship and responsible oversight. 3iQ has been entrusted to manage a dedicated mandate backed by a portion of GMC’s Bitcoin treasury, while also investing in local talent and knowledge transfer and establishing a long-term presence in Gelephu — supporting GMC’s ambition to build a next-generation financial centre grounded in innovation, sustainability, and Bhutan’s cultural values.

Thank you to Adrian Khoo, Barnali Biswal, Jigdrel Singay, Matteo Dante Perruccio, and everyone who joined us for an insightful evening.

3iQ and M/HQ co-hosted a workshop “Women Leading Wealth: Navigating Digital Assets Investing with Confidence,” bringing together an engaged group of women for an open discussion around digital assets and investing.

The conversation reflected how far the asset class has come. Digital assets have moved past their hype phase and are increasingly recognised as an important tool in an investor’s toolkit — supported by greater regulatory clarity, more robust infrastructure, and sophisticated counterparties. Financial institutions are embracing this shift at pace, with many blue-chip firms expanding cryptocurrency and blockchain capabilities across custody, settlement, securitisation, trading, and asset management. Institutional investors including endowments, pensions, and sovereign wealth funds are also becoming increasingly active participants.

The discussion also touched on the practical side of engagement. Before investing or offering solutions to their clients, institutions must consider having dedicated resources — internal or external — to assess the complexity of the market, operational risk, counterparty risk, and cybersecurity risk. Regulatory advancements are helping here too, giving companies the tools to develop innovative products and providing confidence to investors.

Thank you to the speakers Rachel Pether (@RPether) and Hermione Harrison, and everyone who joined us — we hope the session provided a useful foundation for understanding how digital assets are evolving as an investment class, and we would be delighted to continue the discussion.

When does an asset class become a marketplace?

Digital assets have long been viewed through the lens of cryptocurrency. But as more traditional assets move on-chain, a broader question emerges: are digital assets evolving into a financial marketplace in their own right?

In a conversation at the European Blockchain Convention, in Barcelona, Tommaso Mancuso, President CIO of 3iQ, explores the developments that could shape this transition, from on-chain company listings and real-world assets to the role of regulation, liquidity and institutional adoption.

It was a pleasure to host an event with Tommaso Mancuso, President and CIO of 3iQ, Christophe Racine, Head of DACH at 3iQ, and the Pictet Crypto Club in Geneva.

We discussed digital assets and their impact on diversified investment portfolios, exploring various investment strategies including market-neutral and growth (convex) strategies, as well as different hedge fund strategies and their subcategories within a broader hedge fund portfolio.

Thank you to everyone who joined us — we look forward to continuing the conversation.

Last week, Christophe Racine, Head of DACH at 3iQ, hosted an investor lunch in Zurich, joined by Iain MacPherson, Head of Capital Formation at Aras Partners, and Julien Tizot, Chief Investment Officer at Aras Partners. The conversation offered a candid look at how Aras Partners, a single-family office based in Abu Dhabi, approaches investing in digital assets — and why they chose 3iQ following a detailed due diligence process.

The discussion covered the role and impact of digital assets within balanced investment portfolios and how convex investment strategies can add value in a diversified, multi-asset portfolio. The group also explored Luxembourg-based fund structures and their practical benefits.

Thank you to everyone who joined us — we look forward to continuing the conversation.

We are excited to announce that 3iQ has received In-Principal Approval from Abu Dhabi’s Financial Services Authority (FSRA). It follows the announcement of our strategic partnership with @Further, the UAE-based digital asset investment manager, which enables institutional investors access to digital assets via 3iQ’s Managed Account Platform (QMAP) a platform that attracted $100 million sovereign-linked seed capital.

The successful granting of this IPA is part of 3iQ’s aim to be regulated and present in all the major digital asset hubs globally, so that its award-winning investment management offering is accessible to accredited investors around the world. This includes the first ever Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs listed on a major stock exchange.

Rachel Pether (@RPether), Head of Middle East at 3iQ, commented:

“This is an exciting development for 3iQ and has materialised following constructive collaboration with the ADGM’s proactive regulator. Ever since 2023 when we established a footprint in the UAE, 3iQ has taken steps towards becoming the leader in the region with our proven track record of attracting sovereign wealth and institutional capital to digital assets.”

When access becomes a commodity, what separates the winners?

Digital assets are rapidly institutionalising. Exposure is easier to obtain than ever through regulated products, established custodians and maturing market infrastructure. That raises the bar for asset managers.
