Investment Crypto Associate, Digital Asset Hedge Fund

We are looking for an experienced Investment Crypto Associate to join our growing digital asset hedge fund. This is a hands-on role for someone with a strong traditional finance background (3+ years in investment banking, private equity, venture capital, asset management, or consulting) and at least 1 year of direct experience in crypto markets, trading, or research.

Youll work directly with the investment team, conducting deep research on blockchain protocols, on-chain data, and crypto markets, while helping to develop and monitor trading strategies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Source and evaluate investment opportunities across digital assets, DeFi protocols, and blockchain ecosystems.
• Conduct deep-dive research into tokenomics, blockchain protocols, market dynamics, and on-chain data.
• Build financial models and valuation frameworks for tokens and crypto projects.
• Support the development, backtesting, and execution of market-neutral, directional, or arbitrage strategies.
• Monitor trading performance and market conditions; refine strategies based on data-driven insights.
• Prepare investment memos and research reports for internal decision-making.
• Use platforms like Dune, Nansen, Token Terminal, Glassnode, Arkham, etc., to extract and analyze on-chain and market data.
• Stay on top of crypto-related news, trends, and regulatory changes.
• Take ownership of junior analysts and become a key member of the investment decision-making process.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience in investment banking, private equity, venture capital, asset management, consulting, or hedge funds.
• 1+ year of hands-on experience in crypto - whether in a crypto fund, research role, trading desk, or personal active involvement in DeFi/CeFi markets.
• Strong financial modeling, analytical, and quantitative skills.
• Comfortable working with on-chain data, tokenomics, and crypto-native metrics.
• Familiarity with tools like Dune, Nansen, Glassnode, Token Terminal, or willingness to learn quickly.
• Technical skills (SQL, Python, etc.) are a plus but not mandatory.
• Self-starter, highly curious, detail-oriented, and capable of independent research.
• Passion for crypto, digital assets, and financial markets.

Who You Are:

• You think like an investor, dive deep into data, and love figuring out complex problems.
• You are not just interested in crypto - youve been involved for at least a year professionally or seriously personally.
• You are not looking for a client-facing role. This is 100% about deep research, data, strategy, and investment decisions.
• You prefer doing meaningful work with a small, high-performing team rather than being a tiny part of a big machine.

What We Offer:

• Competitive compensation with strong upside through performance bonuses.
• Full flexibility.
• Direct exposure to investment decisions and strategy development.
• Minimal bureaucracy, maximum autonomy.
• A chance to work with a highly experienced and motivated team building an institutional-grade crypto hedge fund.
