The encrypted hedge fund Split Capital announced its closure, and the founder is transitioning to join Plasma
According to Fortune, Zaheer Ebtikar, the founder of the crypto hedge fund Split Capital, announced the closure of the fund and officially joined the stablecoin startup Plasma as Chief Strategy Officer. Ebtikar stated that the closure of the fund was not due to poor performance, but rather because he believes that the crypto hedge fund business model is no longer viable. Ebtikar pointed out that the launch of digital asset ETFs by traditional financial institutions such as BlackRock and Fidelity has allowed institutional investors to allocate crypto assets directly through compliant channels, leading to a significant decline in demand for crypto hedge funds. Meanwhile, the crypto venture capital sector has also experienced a "mass elimination," with the prices of mainstream cryptocurrencies like btc-42">Bitcoin and Ethereum having dropped nearly 50% from their historical highs in 2025.
