Largest Crypto Fundraise
The crypto downturn hasn’t frightened institutional investors.
European hedge fund management company Brevan Howard Asset Management, which has over $23 billion in assets under management, has reportedly raised more than $1 billion from institutional investors for its crypto-focused vehicle, BH Digital.
BH Digital, which was launched in Sep. 2021, has not fully deployed the totality of its capital yet; a source said lack of liquidity was preventing the commitment of the entire sum. Thanks to the raise, the largest in crypto history, BH Digital is reportedly now capable of deploying up to $1.5 billion, with the number expected to rise. The fund remains open for further capital; investors must commit a minimum of $5 million.
The fund reportedly suffered only a 4-5% loss from its creation until June despite the market’s recent brutal downturn (Bitcoin and Ethereum are respectively trading at 67.3% and 67.2% from their all-time highs.)
The news of the massive fundraise comes following months of turmoil which saw Terra, one of crypto’s top protocols, implode and directly wipe out more than $43 billion from the market; the event was responsible for staggering losses for investment firms, including crypto fund Three Arrows Capital, whose solvency problems, in turn, triggered liquidity crises for numerous crypto lending companies such as Celsius and Voyager Digital.
