A CoinShares survey indicates that fund managers are increasing crypto allocations as diversification becomes the leading investment rationale. Hyperliquid (HYPE) is trading at $68.85, up 2.2% since this brief published. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by CoinCodex, with live market data added, as of Sat, 14 Nov 2026 04:45:02 UTC.
The survey suggests institutional portfolios are treating crypto as a source of diversification rather than solely a vehicle for speculation, potentially broadening demand for established and emerging digital assets.
- Fund managers are increasing crypto allocations, according to CoinShares.
- Diversification has overtaken speculation as the leading investment motive.
- HYPE trades at $67.39 after a 15.06% weekly decline.
- NEAR stands at $3.34, while its verified TVL is $108.29 million.
CoinShares’ October 2026 survey found that fund managers are increasing their allocations to crypto. The report identified diversification as the primary motivation behind that allocation activity, replacing speculation as the leading investment rationale. CoinCodex was the only outlet supplied with coverage of the survey, so there is no independent outlet corroboration of its findings.
The coverage highlights 
Hyperliquid’s HYPE and 
NEAR Protocol’s NEAR among alternative tokens attracting fund-manager interest. Hyperliquid has a $16.01 billion market capitalization and trades at $67.39, while NEAR has a $4.37 billion market capitalization and trades at $3.34. These figures place both assets within a broader market in which capital is being allocated for diversification rather than solely for speculative positioning.
Market conditions are currently weighing on the assets mentioned in the report. HYPE is down 4.84% over 24 hours and 15.06% over seven days. NEAR is comparatively stable over 24 hours at a 0.09% decline, but has fallen 10.67% over seven days. DeFiLlama’s live data also show NEAR’s total value locked at $108.29 million, down 7.2% over the same seven-day period.
The wider crypto market capitalization stands at $2.32 trillion as the overall market moves lower. 
Bitcoin is down 3.07% over 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed Index is at 13, indicating extreme fear. The survey’s reported shift toward diversification provides context for institutional allocation, but the current declines show that rising interest has not translated into near-term resilience across HYPE, NEAR, or the broader market.
The development puts attention on whether reported allocation increases continue as market volatility persists. HYPE and NEAR are the assets named in the coverage, with their prices, market capitalizations and NEAR’s on-chain liquidity providing measurable checkpoints alongside future survey findings and broader institutional flows.

The chart plots HYPE's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 HYPE ≈ ₦97,009.31 (about $68.85), down 1.8% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 4.2% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
