The cryptocurrency hedge fund of Modular Asset Management has been investing in tokens like Algorand and Polkadot in the hope that, following a USD2 trillion shakeout in digital assets, coins with higher sustainability traits will outperform.

As central banks throughout the world raised interest rates to tame growing inflation, the value of the global markets fell over the past few months. As fears of a recession increase, risky assets like cryptocurrency have been particularly severely hit.
Virtual currencies increased at the beginning of the week along with other risky assets, encouraged by speculation that the apex of a worldwide wave of monetary tightening is near. However, high inflation has proven to be a tenacious foe, and earlier spurts of confidence have a tendency to fade in a trying year for many investors.
