What is an institutional DeFi fund?
An institutional DeFi fund runs decentralised finance strategies within a regulated fund structure. It combines DeFi yield generation, staking, lending and liquidity provision, managed by an appointed investment manager, with independent governance, independent administration, qualified custody and regulatory oversight, typically through a Cayman Islands-domiciled fund vehicle.
How does CV5 Capital structure DeFi funds?
CV5 Digital SPC provides Cayman Fund infrastructure for independently managed digital asset strategies. Each proposed Sub-Fund is assessed against its strategy, governance, custody, valuation and operating requirements. The appointed investment manager remains responsible for investment decisions.
Can institutional investors access DeFi through a regulated fund?
Yes. Through Sub-Funds of CV5 Digital SPC, institutional investors can access DeFi strategies run by appointed managers within CIMA-regulated Cayman fund structures, with familiar subscription and redemption mechanics, audited financial statements, qualified custody and compliance frameworks designed for institutional due diligence.
What DeFi strategies can be run on the CV5 platform?
The platform supports a range of DeFi strategies run by appointed managers, including liquid staking, restaking, DeFi yield, automated market making, lending and borrowing protocols, market-neutral strategies, basis trading, tokenised credit, and hybrid strategies that combine on-chain and off-chain positions. Each proposed strategy is assessed before acceptance.
What is a tokenised DeFi fund?
A tokenised DeFi fund is a regulated investment vehicle whose interests are represented as digital tokens on a blockchain. CV5 Capital supports the issuance of tokenised fund interests on established on-chain asset management infrastructure, providing investors with on-chain transparency, automated administration, and the ability to subscribe and redeem through both traditional and blockchain-native rails.
How are DeFi fund assets custodied?
DeFi fund assets are held with qualified institutional custodians selected according to strategy, asset coverage and allocator requirements, subject to provider approval. Custody architectures are tailored to each strategy, supporting MPC wallets, cold storage, multi-signature arrangements and segregated custody.
