karpatkey to Launch DeFi Institutional Fund
Actively managed fund will leverage karpatkeys battle-tested, non-custodial execution
infrastructure to provide institutional access to DeFi yields
Dubai, UAE April 19, 2024 karpatkey, a leader in on-chain asset management, announced
today it is creating a low-cost, non-custodial, actively managed open-end fund for institutional
investors. The fund will offer investors exposure to leading DeFi native tokens, while generating
additional yield by deploying the underlying assets in DeFi protocols, mostly in relatively low-risk
strategies such as liquidity incentives, staking, inflation rewards, airdrops, and more. Unlike
on-chain yield aggregation protocols currently available within DeFi, karpatkey will develop the
legal and regulatory frameworks required to onboard traditional investment funds and
institutional investors.
Over the past three years, karpatkey have seen considerable growth, helping many of the
largest DAOs in DeFi manage over $1.7B in on-chain treasury assets. They have executed over
7,000 transactions for their partners, all without suffering any hacks or loss of funds. In parallel,
karpatkey have been active participants in DAO governance, having authored or co-sponsored
many proposals on DeFi protocol design, ecosystem expansion, and risk-management.
Weve been successfully managing some of the most complex DAO treasuries on-chain, which
lead us to develop dedicated execution and risk-management infrastructure, highly specific to
the complex world of DeFi, noted Ruca Sousa Marques, Institutional Lead at karpatkey. We
believe those learnings will give us a significant competitive advantage when launching our own
fund for institutional investors.
While karpatkeys first institutional fund will focus on blue chip DeFi protocols, other funds will
follow. We believe the market for tokenised assets will grow significantly in the coming years,
and a large chunk of that liquidity will make its way into DeFi, said Marcelo Ruiz de Olano,
co-founder of karpatkey. We expect this asset class to be highly attractive to institutional
investors, and were positioning karpatkey to be a major player in that space.
