Cryptocurrency hedge fund fund Protos is now available for trading to verified non-US investors and accredited US investors on the Openfinance Alternative Trading System (ATS), a US regulated platform for the secondary market trading of digital alternative assets.

The Protos fund (PRTS) allows investors to participate in an evergreen fund by deploying capital across a broad range of digital tokens, cryptocurrency and other cryptocurrency investments.

“By offering the first tokenised hedge fund to our investors, our platform is providing even more variety and opportunities for diversification,” says Juan Hernandez, founder & CEO of Openfinance. “We’re excited to be working with Protos Asset Management and providing our users access to an entirely new asset class.”

The Protos fund’s goal is to capture profit opportunities in the digital token and cryptocurrency market while limiting losses and risk during periods of volatility or general market downturns. By investing in the largest cryptocurrencies by network value (market capitalisation) and those which possess the most trading liquidity (as measured by transaction volume on the major trading exchanges), as well as in early stage cryptocurrency and blockchain related projects, Protos aims to produce returns, with a focus on controlling risk.

“Protos is excited to partner with Openfinance to offer investors the opportunity to get exposure to this exciting asset class. At Protos we are motivated to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns to investors, with institutional grade custody and risk controls,” says Dr Philipp Kallerhoff, CEO of Protos.
