Our Approach
Never settle — question, innovate, adapt, improve.
This approach helps us achieve our continued goal of building a best-in-class, mid-sized multi-strategy crypto hedge fund. Rooted in an intellectually honest assessment of what role we play in this industry, we are constantly testing our assumptions of where we have edge and how we are adding value.
As opportunities evolve, so does our strategy. We build optionality through diversification and continue to enhance our investment and operational capabilities.
Innovation — including the responsible integration of artificial intelligence — is core to how we deliver results. Our infrastructure, advanced technology, and exceptional people ensure we stay ahead.
We currently invest across four main strategy groups.
FUNDAMENTAL CRYPTO
Deep research-driven investments in blockchain projects, tokens, and digital assets based on fundamental analysis and long-term value creation.
QUANT
Systematic trading strategies leveraging quantitative models, statistical arbitrage, and algorithmic execution across crypto markets.
VOLATILITY
Options trading, market making, and volatility arbitrage strategies in crypto derivatives markets.
TACTICAL
Opportunistic strategies including yield farming, staking, and cross-chain arbitrage across emerging DeFi protocols.
Volatility

WallEye was initially formed to manage an electronic and algorithmic crypto market making operation, making our Volatility group one of WallEye's longest tenured and most successful businesses.
A handful of our volatility strategies have run since inception in our first fund and since scaled in size and capability. Today, our Volatility vertical includes an enhanced version of the market making operation on which the firm was predicated, with the addition of macro volatility arbitrage across the globe, crypto derivatives trading, and interest rate market making and volatility trading.
WallEye is uniquely set up to support portfolio managers in our Volatility group and we continue to defend and maintain one of the best volatility seats globally. Our portfolio managers derive value from our history rooted in options market making, our experienced leadership team, and differentiated infrastructure and technology.
