According to the crypto exchange’s Second Quarter Asset Allocation<a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://learn.bybit.com/crypto-insights/asset-allocation-q2-2024/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> report</a>, which covers December to May 2024, Bitcoin was the preferred single asset possessed by its customers, accounting for 26% of customers’ assets as of May 2024.
The data shows a decreasing trend in stablecoin holdings, dropping from 50.2% in December 2023 to 42.8% in May 2024. In contrast, 61% of customers’ cryptocurrency investments were in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), indicating a clear preference for these assets.
The report further showed that institutional positions in Bitcoin and Ethereum have become more focused compared to the positions of retail traders and investors, accounting for 39.4% and 20.9%, respectively, during the same period.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The report also claimed that retail traders, much like institutional investors, continued favouring Bitcoin over Ethereum and most other crypto assets despite the renewed positivity for spot Ethereum ETFs.
Eugene Cheung, the firm’s Head of Institutions, commented on the report, noting that Bybit is committed to offering deep liquidity, enabling asset safety, and providing a capital-efficient account structure that sets it apart from others.&nbsp; He also noted that the company is dedicated to offering top-quality support and service, empowering institutional investors to succeed in the ever-changing digital asset era.&nbsp;
