Three Nominations Across Governance, Regulation, and Execution

CV5 Capital has been nominated in three categories at the Hedgeweek Global Digital Asset Awards 2026, one of the most authoritative annual recognition programmes for fund managers and service providers operating in the digital asset sector. The nominations, announced in March 2026, reflect the breadth of CV5 Capital's platform capabilities and the growing institutional recognition of its model for fund formation and operational infrastructure in the Cayman Islands.

Hedgeweek Global Digital Asset Awards 2026

CV5 Capital Shortlisted Categories
1
New Solution Provider of the Year Recognising emerging service providers delivering exceptional value to the digital asset fund sector
2
Regulatory Advisor of the Year Awarded to firms demonstrating exceptional expertise in navigating regulatory frameworks for digital asset managers
3
Solution Provider of the Year: Execution and Trading Recognising platforms that deliver outstanding execution and trading infrastructure to the digital asset fund community

The Hedgeweek Global Digital Asset Awards are selected through a process that combines detailed research by an in-house judging panel with a broad survey of digital asset fund managers from across the global institutional community. Service provider shortlists are assembled from manager nominations, with self-nominations discounted, making the shortlisting process a genuine measure of peer and client recognition rather than a self-reported assessment.

"Being nominated across three categories at the Hedgeweek Global Digital Asset Awards is an important milestone for CV5 Capital. From the outset, we set out to bridge institutional standards and digital innovation, giving managers a faster, safer, and more cost-effective way to launch and operate hedge funds and digital asset funds." — David Lloyd, CEO, CV5 Capital

What the Nominations Reflect

The three categories in which CV5 Capital has been shortlisted span the full arc of what the platform delivers to institutional managers. The New Solution Provider of the Year nomination reflects the platform's momentum since launch, including the growth of its fund roster, the depth of its service provider relationships, and the speed with which it has established credibility in a market where institutional confidence is hard-won. The Regulatory Advisor of the Year nomination recognises CV5 Capital's role in helping managers navigate the Cayman Islands regulatory framework, including the Mutual Funds Act, the Private Funds Act, and the Virtual Asset Service Providers Act, as well as the March 2026 amendments that introduced the Cayman tokenised fund framework. The Solution Provider of the Year: Execution and Trading nomination reflects the platform's investment in institutional trading infrastructure, including prime brokerage relationships, exchange connectivity, and custody arrangements with leading digital asset custodians.

Together, the three nominations affirm that CV5 Capital's model, providing institutional managers with turnkey access to regulated fund infrastructure rather than requiring each manager to build that infrastructure independently, is resonating across the professional community that the Hedgeweek awards programme surveys.

About the Hedgeweek Global Digital Asset Awards

The Hedgeweek Global Digital Asset Awards recognise excellence among fund managers and service providers operating across the digital asset sector. Finalists are selected through a combination of in-house research, industry surveys covering more than 100 global digital asset fund managers, and nomination data from the broader community. Following shortlisting, the awards proceed to a public vote, with final winners determined by a combination of vote popularity and the quality of each submission. The awards ceremony for 2026 is scheduled to take place in London in June 2026, bringing together managers, service providers, and allocators from across the global digital asset ecosystem.

Jason Eastman, Director at CV5 Capital, noted the significance of the recognition for the platform's manager community: "Digital asset managers want to focus on generating alpha and raising capital, not spend months on structuring or rebuilding the operational framework from scratch. Our platform is designed to provide institutional-grade infrastructure from day one, whether a manager is launching a traditional hedge fund, a market-neutral digital asset strategy, or a fully tokenized fund vehicle, all with ongoing support from our offices in Cayman. The recognition from Hedgeweek reinforces that this model is resonating with both managers and allocators."

About CV5 Capital

CV5 Capital is a CIMA regulated turnkey fund formation platform based in the Cayman Islands, enabling both traditional and digital asset fund managers to launch and operate hedge funds and digital asset funds efficiently and with institutional credibility. The platform operates two umbrella structures, CV5 SPC for traditional hedge fund strategies and CV5 Digital SPC for digital asset and tokenised fund strategies, both structured as Cayman segregated portfolio companies providing statutory asset and liability segregation across portfolios.

Platform services span the full operational lifecycle of a fund, covering legal structuring, CIMA registration, fund administration, audit, banking, digital asset custody, and independent director and corporate governance services. Managers launching through CV5 Capital can be operational in under four weeks, with access to institutional infrastructure that would typically require six to twelve months and several hundred thousand dollars to replicate on a standalone basis.

For managers considering a Cayman-domiciled hedge fund or digital asset fund launch in 2026, further information on the CV5 Capital platform is available at cv5capital.io or by contacting the team directly at info@cv5capital.io.
