At 21e6 Capital AG, we believe that digital assets are evolving into a new, established asset class. Based on this conviction, our team aggregates in-depth knowledge and investment know-how and has collected vast amounts of data on the 1,000 crypto funds in the ecosystem. Our crypto-specific due diligence process allows us to analyze and evaluate funds and their investments in a highly effective and efficient manner to identify the ideal investment targets.

Exploiting the low correlation between digital and traditional assets to improve risk-adjusted returns.
Accessing multiple strategies such as quantitative, market-neutral, long-only and long-short.
Investing in the best crypto fund managers globally.
