Strategies

Opportunity

Crypto has evolved into decentralized finance - a term for traditional financial services implemented on a decentralized infrastructure (blockchain). Examples are decentralized exchanges, lending, or derivative protocols.

What we do

We allocate capital to a diversified list of trusted decentralized platforms and receive incentives - similar to the way traditional investors receive returns on bank deposits. Our data analytics and algo units ensure optimal capital allocation and hedging.

Opportunity

Crypto is a trillion-dollar market with institutional capital, yet it's still much less efficient than traditional finance. The inefficiencies (coming from systematic drawbacks, manipulations, and lags) can be utilized.

What we do

Our inhouse algorithms signal and execute trades when inefficiencies develop - for example, in the form of price spreads between congruent assets

Team

We are alumni of McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, Aave and Quantum Brains and are prize winners of national competitions in maths and programming. Previously, we have successfully managed funds up to $200M.
