Asymmetric Capital is a crypto-native investment startup with trad-fi DNA, targeting consistent returns of 80% annualized.
The partners previously cofounded a global top 20 crypto HFT trading firm that scaled to billions in average daily trading volume.
At our new firm Asymmetric, we scan the crypto markets to identify mispriced investment opportunities that have a great risk-return profile.
We apply the rigor of tradfi to capitalize on inefficiencies in nascent crypto markets.
Truth be told, a lot of what we do isnât âtradingâ.

The next day we might be spinning up a team of 25 offshore virtual assistants to captain digital pirate ships that farm virtual gold.
On another day we might be building tech to market-make NFTs on Blur.
If itâs crypto and we can get in early with an edge â weâll move quickly to capitalize and use tech to augment and scale when appropriate.
