Investment thesis
1kx invests on the structural thesis that trust is becoming contestable and that the largest technology outcomes will accrue to networks and companies that compress the cost of trust. The firm underwrites on fundamentals, commits across market cycles, and partners with founders building blockchain-native configurations that compound over time. Its work centers on decentralized finance, stablecoin payments, and the protocols beneath them, informed by ongoing research such as its Cost of Trust framework and onchain revenue analysis.
