Token Metrics Ventures
Token Metrics CEO Ian Balina yesterday announced the launch of Token Metrics Ventures, a multi-strategy fund focused on investing in digital assets and companies in the crypto ecosystem. The general partner of the fund, Token Metrics GP, LLC is owned and managed by a team headed by Mr Balina and includes Gurraj Sangha, the Chief Quantitative Investment Officer of Token Metrics Inc., Diego Lara, a former partner of 100x Advisors and Ugo Nduaguba, a former partner of 100x Advisors.
“Opportunities for digital assets continue to rise given the increased loss of confidence in fiscal and monetary regimes,” said Mr Balina. “We also see a massive disruption of multiple sectors within the global economy due to the growth of DeFi, NFTs, Web3 infrastructure, and DAOs. This presents us with a variety of exciting opportunities for Token Metrics Ventures. Further, the team’s deep expertise in the space combined with the reputation of Token Metrics will facilitate recognizing and transforming early-stage projects looking for value-add investors.”
Token Metrics Ventures invests across the blockchain spectrum, from investments in early-stage, widely held digital assets, DAOs and NFTs to equity in companies that form the foundation of such assets. Built from diversified blockchain assets, the fund’s portfolio is designed to achieve positive returns while having a low correlation with other asset classes such as equity, fixed income, commodity, currency, as well as traditional investment performance benchmarks.
Leveraging the in-depth fundamental research of Token Metrics Inc and the expertise of digital asset sector specialists, Token Metrics Ventures focuses on identifying undervalued, early-stage principal investments. The fund combines a dynamic fundamental investment process with an artificial intelligence-based quantitative approach to gain an edge in constructing a robust portfolio with a favorable risk-reward profile.
Ian Balina, CEO and co-founder of Token Metrics GP, LLC, began sharing his crypto trades in a public-facing spreadsheet, successfully turning $20,000 into more than $5 million. His Moneyball-style approach to trading formed the basis for the machine learning algorithms that have driven Token Metrics Inc since 2019. With this kind of momentum driving the company forward, Token Metrics Ventures marks the beginning of the mission to deliver economic empowerment to all humankind.
