Asset Class or Allocation Trap: Making Sense of Digital Assets in 2026

Digital assets are embedded in allocator agendas. Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have multi-year track records, stablecoins are a meaningful source of Treasury demand, and tokenization is advancing rapidly. Yet the harder questions remain:  Does crypto deserve a strategic allocation, and how should investors size and underwrite an asset class with no cash flows and a return profile that defies conventional models?   Three panelists bring distinct vantage points:  Juan Leon, CFA,  Senior Investment Strategist at Bitwise Asset Management, a leading crypto-native asset manager;  Loren Asmus, CFA, CAIA,  Head of Investor Relations at UTXO Management and a former manager research lead at Canterbury Consulting ($52B AUA); and  Dr. Timothy Darrah , Co-Founder and CEO of Mangrove AI, a former NASA Fellow and Vanderbilt adjunct professor building AI infrastructure for on-chain finance. Together, they will examine how an asset manager, a former institutional allocator, and a technologist frame the case for digital assets in serious portfolios in 2026.
