About Metanova Capital

Metanova Capital is a digital assets hedge fund with a focus on emerging opportunities in decentralized finance ("DeFi'). Metanova believes that one of the clearest use cases to have emerged from blockchain and smart contract technology is DeFi, in which a burgeoning ecosystem of decentralized financial products and services is forming. Leveraging the Founder's extensive previous experience investing in fixed income markets, Metanova employs a low-volatility approach to portfolio construction with a focus on yield generating strategies. This approach aims to capture equity-like upside within the digital assets asset class with the volatility profile of a fixed income portfolio.
