Abstract

2024 marks a significant milestone in integrating digital finance into the global financial landscape. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs signaled wider mainstream adoption. Shortly thereafter, Donald Trump’s return to the presidency drove Bitcoin prices beyond $100,000. In light of these developments, we observe the rapid changes in cryptocurrency market prices, trends, and regulatory policies, which drive us to conduct a comprehensive review of cryptocurrencies asset’s literature and examine its robustness. Our study covers several themes: how cryptocurrencies fit into broader asset allocation strategies, techniques to create crypto-based indexes, current debates over speculative bubbles, and the evolution of valuation models to highlight the dual aspects of market opportunities and risks. Throughout our review, we compare previous studies with the latest data, seeking to determine which arguments continue to hold up and which require adjustment. Although digital assets have experienced multiple crashes, they often rebound more strongly than expected, making them a topic of intense debate among academics, regulators, and investors. We aim to assemble an organized summary of research findings, providing a comprehensive framework that unites historical evolution with recent shifts and future perspectives.
