Investment thesis

Asymmetric invests in early-stage web3 and crypto companies and protocols through a global macro and technological lens. Its flagship VC Fund I is blockchain-agnostic, spanning the spectrum from DeFi to mobile applications. A dedicated Bitcoin DeFi Venture Fund I invests exclusively in Bitcoin Layer 2s, metaprotocols, staking, and dapps. The firm also structures special situation vehicles, such as an SPV providing investor access to private shares in Circle Inc. at a discount. Asymmetric backs founders solving large problems, identifying early traction across retail onchain behavior, emerging financial instruments, and accelerating institutional adoption of digital assets.
