Hedgeweek has announced the winners of the European Digital Assets Awards 2023, which reward excellence among fund managers and service providers in the digital assets space.
The awards were presented at an exclusive ceremony and networking event today (Thursday, 29 June), at Convene Bishopsgate, London.
Voting for the awards was conducted via an online poll of the entire Hedgeweek userbase, where participants were asked to make their choice among the shortlisted firms in each category.
The manager categories cover crypto and other digital asset strategies, while the service provider categories span all the key and evolving areas of service provision in the digital asset space.
Pre-selection data for the awards is based on annualised returns over the 12 months from 1 September, 2021 to 31 August, 2022.
For the service provider categories, the nominated firms are based on a widespread survey of more than 100 digital assets fund managers.
