Key Takeaways
- • Bloomberg's Crypto Exposure Analytics now classifies fund holdings under Basel Groups 1a through 2b, according to the primary source.

Summary
Bloomberg has added Basel-aligned classification to its Crypto Exposure Analytics tool, sorting fund holdings into Basel Groups 1a, 1b, 2a and 2b. The primary source reports that approximately 1,700 funds have been flagged under the new framework.
A notable finding is that about half of the flagged funds do not disclose crypto in their stated strategy. This divergence between stated mandate and observed holdings is the central point for institutional investors, who rely on strategy disclosures for portfolio construction, risk budgeting and mandate compliance.
The Basel crypto-asset classification framework is the reference standard the tool now applies. Because the source material available is brief, this summary does not detail specific fund names, individual exposure amounts or methodology beyond the classification groups and the flagged count.
