U.K.-based financial advisory firm deVere Group, which says it has over $10 billion under advice and management, has launched an actively managed cryptocurrency fund.
Announced in a press release Thursday, the new investment offering, called deVere Digital Asset Funds, is being launched in partnership with Dubai-based hedge fund manager Dalma Capital Management.

The fund will provide investors with a diversified exposure to digital currencies, but aims to reduce the volatility "for which the market is known," deVere states.
The fund will invest in a portfolio of various digital assets using algorithmic trading over different platforms – including cryptocurrency exchanges and OTC [over the counter] markets, as well as taking advantage of arbitrage.
Arbitrage involves buying an asset on one exchange and selling it on another where the price is higher to profit from the difference in prices.
The founder and CEO of deVere Group, Nigel Green, said in the release that he believes that cryptos are now "undeniably part of mainstream finance" and that there is growing demand from clients.
Arbitrage, he added, allows profits to be generated "with little or no directional market risk."
Zachary Cefaratti, CEO of Dalma Capital said that crypto markets have offered numerous arbitrage opportunities that have not been seen in conventional markets for decades, adding:
"Arbitrage opportunities abound – the prices of the top 25 crypto assets vary across over 400 liquidity venues. The ability to trade long and short allows profit opportunities regardless of market direction."
In a previous foray into the crypto space, deVere in February launched a cryptocurrency app called deVere Crypto that allows users to store, transfer and exchange bitcoin, ethereum and litecoin.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

Bitcoin’s onchain data points to supply overhang and weak participation, while gold’s breakout is priced by markets as a durable macro regime shift.
What to know:
- Gold’s surge above $5,000 an ounce is increasingly seen as a durable regime shift, with investors treating the metal as a persistent hedge against geopolitical risk, central bank demand and a weaker dollar.
- Bitcoin is stuck near $87,000 in a low-conviction market, as on-chain data show older holders selling into rallies, newer buyers absorbing losses and a heavy supply overhang capping moves toward $100,000.
- Derivatives and prediction markets point to continued consolidation in bitcoin and sustained strength in gold, with thin futures volumes, subdued leverage and weak demand for higher-beta crypto assets like ether reinforcing the cautious tone.
