2017 Crypto Fund Launches
2017 was a record year for launches of new cryptocurrency investment funds with over 2900 new crypto hedge funds, venture capital funds, and private equity funds launched. In fact, there were so many new crypto hedge funds launched in 2017, that crypto funds became the fastest growing sector of any hedge fund category.
The United States was home to more crypto fund launches in 2017 than any other country. This is not terribly surprising and is consistent with the US leading the world in terms of hedge funds and venture capital generally. However, there were also a number of new crypto funds launched in the United Kingdom as well as Canada and Singapore. The Middle East also had its first crypto fund launch.
Crypto hedge funds continue to be the largest category of new launches, though in some cases the lines may between crypto hedge funds and crypto venture capital may be blurrier than in traditional alternative investment classes.
Below you will find a list of 290+ cryptocurrency fund launches for 2017.
