Foresight News reported, according to CoinDesk, that Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated that as the digital asset market matures, institutional investors have now shifted to more sophisticated and reliable analytical methods for selecting crypto investments. Institutions are no longer focused on market capitalization, but are instead following nuanced, stock market-like investment strategies in the digital asset market.
Stock picking is an investment approach where funds select individual stocks with strong growth or value potential. Unlike passive investing (where funds track broad market indices), stock picking requires detailed analysis of a company's financials, industry position, and other factors to seek higher return opportunities. Institutions are increasingly adopting the same approach in the cryptocurrency market, choosing to invest based on the fundamentals of cryptocurrencies.
