Summary
RockawayX, a global digital-asset investment and asset management firm, is targeting $150M for a new hedge fund to expand its liquid strategies offerings. The firm currently manages over $2B in assets across venture capital, liquid strategies, and broader digital-asset investment mandates, positioning it as a meaningful participant in institutional crypto capital deployment.
The fundraising reflects broader momentum in crypto hedge fund formation. Concurrently, Edge Capital Group is preparing to launch a $750M crypto fund of funds later in 2026 with starting assets of approximately $750M. This vehicle targets allocations across a diverse suite of trading strategies spanning centralized finance (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) markets, including systematic global macro, relative value, delta-neutral and market-neutral statistical arbitrage, cross-exchange arbitrage, momentum and volatility strategies, and market-making and high-frequency trading (HFT) approaches. The fund will also maintain exposure to liquid cash, futures, and FX markets.
RockawayX has demonstrated active investment activity beyond its own fund launch. The firm participated in a €8.1M strategic funding round for London-based crypto infrastructure startup BOB, alongside hedge funds and other venture capital firms, signaling continued capital deployment into foundational crypto infrastructure.
This fundraising environment underscores institutional appetite for crypto-focused liquid strategies following earlier market volatility. Industry data suggests allocators are increasingly comfortable with multi-strategy approaches that blend traditional quantitative finance (systematic macro, statistical arbitrage) with digital-asset-specific opportunities (DeFi yield, cross-exchange inefficiencies, and volatility capture). The simultaneous activities of RockawayX and larger fund-of-funds vehicles indicate capital reallocation toward managers with proven track records and diversified strategy portfolios in an expanding institutional crypto market.
