Thoughts on AFX from an Experienced Crypto Investor
Preface
“Since 2015, I have had numerous conversations with individuals within crypto, been involved in several crypto groups and have personal relationships with high-net-worth crypto investors. Conversations invariably turn to the ‘what next’ part and it’s at this point that the groups listed below coalesced in my mind.”
In my experience, potential crypto investors in AFX will fall into one of the three groups below:
Group 1:
“They see crypto as a means to an end and will divest crypto profits into TradFi (traditional finance) FIAT products with the ultimate aim of lowering risk exposure and eliminating the technical risk inherent to crypto ownership. This group will almost certainly use a wealth advisor to purchase and manage TradFi investments. They would likely be receptive to a crypto ETF as part of their portfolio.”
Group 2:
“See crypto as a balanced longtime part of their portfolio strategy. They will move some profits/yield into TradFi FIAT products to mitigate risk. They will certainly own/stake majors/stables but may also dabble in short term trading, meme coins, staking and even some Degen yield strategies. They would be less likely to consider a crypto ETF as they will likely own the asset outright although they may go for the ETF as part of their TradFi FIAT strategy.”
What is TradFi?
Traditional finance, often referred to as TradFi, encompasses all aspects of the traditional financial system
This includes banking, the stock market, the bond market, venture capital, and hedge funds
What is FIAT currency?
Fiat money is a government-issued currency that is not backed by a physical commodity such as gold or silver; it is backed by the government that issues it
Fiat money gives central banks greater control over the economy because they can control how much money is printed
Most modern paper currencies, such as the U.S. dollar, the euro, and other major global currencies are fiat currencies
Group 3:
“They see crypto as the investment strategy. Will likely hold/stake majors and stables as part of their lower risk strategy. The balance will be in short term trading, meme coins, staking and likely Degen yield farming strategies. There are now numerous offramps for crypto (without direct FIAT conversion) such as Crypto debit/credit cards, staking/yields to FIAT and direct crypto purchases which have enabled the feasibility of crypto only portfolios. This group is possibly less likely to consider a crypto ETF.”
“It’s the crypto elements of the AFX product that are most interesting and relevant. Also, I’m unaware of any TradFi product that has a direct crypto onramp and perhaps even more interesting; a crypto offramp.”
Converting large amounts of crypto to FIAT is problematic for the following reasons:
-
“The easiest method is to sell crypto to a FIAT pair. However, these markets have considerably smaller volume which means even a modest sell can cause price fluctuations - even for the majors”
-
“The largest pair markets will be coin to stable coin (USDT in most cases) which means a two-stage conversion e.g., BTC to USDT then USDT to FIAT. However, Stable to FIAT conversion is not a traded pair on some exchanges and rather they are essentially purchasing the stable from you at less than market + fee. Alternatively, some exchanges will convert crypto to FIAT (again they are purchasing the crypto from you) at less than market + fee”
-
“Each sell or transaction involves a commission, Binance have very low rates (especially if you hold BNB) however smaller exchanges can charge considerably more”
-
“In most tax jurisdictions each transaction/sell to FIAT is a taxable event. In some tax jurisdictions each transaction is a taxable event regardless of whether FIAT is involved”
Here’s where I see the USP’s for AFX:
-
“Crypto moves to a more risk averse product (AFX) as an end game and eventually offramps to FIAT. Investor groups 1 or 2”
-
“Crypto transfers to a more risk averse product (AFX) in bear markets, sideways markets or in anticipation of major downside volatility. Eventually offramps to crypto or stables for re-investment. Investor groups 2 or 3”
-
“Crypto diversifies to an alternative medium yield product (AFX) as an ongoing strategy. Offramps to crypto, stables for re-investment or FIAT. Investor groups 1 or 2”
-
“All of the above eliminate the issues associated with crypto to FIAT conversion”
Typical Strategy used by Crypto / AFX Investors
As cryptocurrencies values fluctuate frequently, many investors choose to convert their crypto profits to stable coins over time (by way of profit taking) before transferring the stable coins to AFX for investment in the strategies
This allows the investor to time when to convert their crypto assets within their crypto wallet to stable coins, and the stable coins (e.g. USDT) are then transferred to AFX
Profits from AFX can then be returned to the stable coin (or another cryptocurrency) in the investors crypto wallet, which the investor can then convert to which ever cryptocurrencies they wish to invest in for growth
