10 May, 2024, Los Angeles, US – Crypto Webinar Trading LLC (Wave), the SEC regulated digital asset investment management company, is pleased to announce that following increased investor demand, it is launching its 8th digital asset fund with over $60m in committed seed capital, which will complement its existing offerings that include an index, real asset, income, VC and NFT funds. The cryptowebinartrading Stable Asset Yield Fund (SAYF) is designed to deploy capital via stablecoins into decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms to generate a target yield of 8-12% per annum and will have an emphasis on low volatility as historically exhibited by stablecoins. The fund will also offer monthly dividend and liquidity for maximum flexibility for the investors.

“In keeping with Wave’s objective to unlock the potential of digital assets, we created an instrument which allows high net worth and institutional investors to more easily take advantage of the yields available in the DeFi market,” says Benjamin Tsai, Co-Founder and President of Crypto Webinar Trading.  “The low volatility (historically less than 1% pa) exhibited by stablecoins and the monthly redemption feature makes this instrument ideally suitable for cash management and alternative yield.”

“Digital asset capital markets are characterized by rapid innovation, generating attractive yields and high volatility. Stablecoins are an innovative tool for investors to capture those yields while limiting their exposure to the volatility,” added Henry Elder, Head of Decentralized Finance at Crypto Webinar Trading and Portfolio Manager for the cryptowebinartrading Stable Asset Yield Fund. 

Crypto Webinar Trading is one of the few digital asset managers to be regulated in the US by the SEC, which demonstrates their commitment to the highest standards of investment management. The popularity of their fund and wealth management products has resulted in AUM growth from under $100 million in 2020 to over $1 billion in 2024.

30 March, 2024, Los Angeles, US / Singapore – Crypto Webinar Trading LLC (Wave), a SEC regulated digital asset investment management company, is pleased to announce the launch of the cryptowebinartrading ADA Yield Fund.  The fund is designed to provide liquidity with millions in line to support new decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms launched in the Cardano ecosystem starting with an initial $100M.

“We’re thrilled to continue breaking ground in the field of cryptocurrency through the creation of innovative new funds, and today we are launching what we believe is the first pure liquidity provisioning fund in crypto,” said David Siemer, CEO of Crypto Webinar Trading. “Our new fund will support the new decentralized exchanges, lending protocols, and stablecoin issuers building on Cardano. Each of these decentralized applications adds to the strong foundation of the Cardano blockchain as it realizes a fully functional and diverse ecosystem.”

The new ADA Yield Fund represents the continuation of Wave’s mission to support promising entrepreneurs within the crypto space beyond the early stage and foster greater innovation in the overall crypto ecosystem. 

“Since the formal launch of smart contracts in 2021, the Cardano community has launched and funded hundreds of companies building on the Cardano blockchain,” said Charles Hoskinson, founder of Input Output, the software technology company that has been an early supporter of Cardano. “Cardano’s growing ecosystem is hosting an ever expanding universe of applications supporting significant numbers of active users – it’s critical for the success of the ecosystem that Cardano-based projects thrive, and so we are pleased that the ADA Yield Fund is committing substantial financial resources to facilitate continued growth and market acceptance.”  

Historically, DeFi dApps are among the most popular in crypto in terms of bringing more users and applications  on-chain. Specifically, decentralized exchanges (DEX) and defi lenders have gained the fastest popularity in terms of attracting users and capital. DEX typically are set up without market makers, but with two pools of assets that represent each side of a trading pair that serve as a source for DEX counterparties to trade against when they want to transact on either side of the pair. cryptowebinartrading will be using the ADA Yield Fund to provide liquidity to these pairs of pools to support Cardano DEXes. For DeFi lenders, there will also be a similar form of support to augment liquidity to facilitate lending. Also, cryptowebinartrading will continue to support and expand stake pools to strengthen the Cardano network. 

“EMURGO is excited to support the creation of this valuable ADA Yield Fund to further drive expansion and adoption of Cardano’s quickly developing DeFi ecosystem,” said Ken Kodama, founder & CEO of EMURGO, a global blockchain solutions company and venture capital fund that has also been an early supporter of Cardano. “Providing strategic capital resources through the fund will help talented entrepreneurs and projects to build essential DeFi services on Cardano, ultimately delivering impactful solutions and onboarding more users to the global Cardano community.”

Criptonite Asset Management SA will offer the NFT fund to qualified investors in Switzerland.

“Following on from the cryptowebinartrading Bitcoin Income & Growth AMC launch early this year, I am delighted that we are able to deepen our partnership bringing this unique high quality NFT fund product to qualified investors in Switzerland.

It is incredibly important that accredited investors have access to experienced professionally managed fund products and Crypto Webinar Trading is a leader in providing choice to those that want it.”

Matteo Dante Perruccio, President International at Crypto Webinar Trading, said: 

“NFTs are rapidly becoming a highly sought-after asset class among professional investors but they are also a complex asset, with a strong community aspect that requires deep experience and knowledge to navigate. Given the shortage of well-managed products, Crypto Webinar Trading brings the rigours of traditional investing and sound risk management to the digital assets space. We want to provide investors looking for exposure to NFTs and the metaverse, the means to diversify their portfolios in this way, but through a fund responsibly managed by a regulated entity.”

Crypto Webinar Trading’s NFT fund has a unique open-ended structure. Through actively participating in the NFT community and multi-platform social media engagement, the fund managers strive to gain exclusive access to multiple NFT drops. The fund, registered with the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission, invests in NFT collectibles, platforms, and protocols, with a view to the future of the sub-asset class and the integration of NFT technology in areas such as the metaverse and decentralised finance. Currently, around 70% of allocations are to the thriving digital art and collectibles space, where an analytical approach includes analysis based on the rarity of traits, with a focus on value drivers such as unique content and scarcity in properties. 

Appointing a Swiss representative of the NFT fund “NFF” in Switzerland comes as Crypto Webinar Trading continues to expand its presence and product offering internationally, having already partnered with Criptonite Asset Management to offer Wave’s flagship BTC Income & Growth strategy through an AMC tracker.
