Blockchain Founders Group invests in Rudy Capital to make DeFi more accessible
Written by Elias Mendel
We are happy to announce the latest addition to our investment track record through investment in Rudy Capital. Rudy Capital aims to leverage DeFi and develop stablecoin-based and market-neutral portfolios that generate steady positive returns — whether markets are rising, falling, or trending sideways.
Why we invested in Rudy Capital
The total value locked (TVL) in DeFi has reached around $80 billion in March 2022, significantly increasing over 8x since July 2020. The rapid growth of DeFi attracts many new investors into the space seeking to profit from its spectacular rise.
DeFi has started to reshape global finance, yet the asset category remains mysterious to many investors. Despite the vast amount of opportunities, the highly volatile nature, technical risks, and regulatory uncertainty have made it difficult for investors to enter the space. Rudy Capital manages all the complexities, zeroes out market volatility, and creates new benchmarks in risk-adjusted returns.
Rudy Capital (website: https://rudy.capital/) provides advisory services to manage all these complexities along the entire DeFi investment value chain through:
- Market research: creation and aggregation of DeFi market intelligence for the best possible investment decisions. Investors benefit from the quantitative and qualitative analyses, as well as from their close connection to the community.
- Risk management: deployment of a risk management system with three lines of defense that protects from risks on the blockchain, protocol, and asset layer.
- Portfolio construction: leveraging the main DeFi revenue sources to generate stable yield — income, trading fee income and reward income. This makes it possible to achieve stable positive returns even in times of market downturn.
Take a look at Rudy Capital’s DeFi strategy evaluation process involving qualitative and quantitative analysis to identify the most attractive DeFi strategies:
