Sectors

Digital Assets & Tokenization.

The firm's founding franchise: a decade of institutional work in digital asset capital markets, token economics, and market infrastructure, predating nearly every institutional entrant. Coverage today concentrates where institutions actually transact — tokenized real-world assets, market infrastructure, and treasury strategy.

The firm's research argues the sector's binding constraint has moved from issuance to distribution; its investments follow that thesis.
