Following the explosive growth of digital currencies in winter 2017, we have been experiencing a correction during the first half of 2018. Despite this, our top 3 DAA managers have managed to perform beyond expectations by keeping their Q2 numbers in the green and delivering a positive return for their DAA holders. All three of our top DAAs outperformed bitcoin in Q2.
Downturns can present great opportunities, and we look forward to seeing how our DAA managers perform in Q3. For reference, read our Q1 DAA performance overview here.
Top Three Best-Performing DAAs
1. Trade (TRADE)
Cain Ransbottyn and his team are “true blockchain believers” who no longer believe in bitcoin as a strong investment, instead promoting “sustainable, undervalued altcoins with huge potential.” Read more about Cain’s views on these and other topics in his DAA Manager Insights interview.
We asked Cain what makes TRADE stand out:
“The fact that we thoroughly believe in ETH and ETC rather than BTC is our unique selling proposition. It’s not a secret that we don’t believe in BTC. Most everyone who believes in crypto believes in ‘Bitcoin.’ We haven’t believed in Bitcoin as a currency for a long time; in fact, we think Bitcoin is for losers! But we do believe in blockchain technology — or, rather, crypto technology.”

2. Cornucopia Index (CRNC)
CRNC’s goal is to provide “an entry point into the blockchain sector for traditional investors and the general public.” CRNC believes Ethereum is likely to have the “strongest, low-risk growth,” and ether currently comprises 50% of the DAA. Learn more about CRNC in our interview with manager Elad Shtilerman.
We asked Elad what might trigger the next bull run:
“I am optimistic that the end of Q3 and the beginning of Q4, with more and more projects maturing, will bring a tipping point. I think the most important factor now is regulatory clarity in leading countries.”

3. Exponential Age Array (EAA)
EAA is run by a team of analysts that “eats, breathes, and lives cryptocurrency.” Rather than focusing on short-term hype, the team looks for “technologies and ventures that have the potential to become the backbone of the industry they operate in.” Learn more about EAA in our interview with manager Sven Van de Perre.
We asked Sven what stood out most to him about Q2:
“Some companies are going from promises in a whitepaper to actual, tangible proof…Those companies haven’t reached their goals yet, but as a professional technology analyst, I can tell you they’ve got all the signs of becoming the mega corporations of the next technology cycle.”
