On-chain asset management platform L1 has launched a suite of high-alpha investment strategies managed by crypto-native hedge funds, aiming to give financial advisors and accredited investors streamlined access to previously exclusive opportunities.
Historically limited to institutions and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, these strategies – offered through smart contract-based vaults – will now be accessible on L1’s platform. The launch includes products from Fasanara Digital, FalconX, and Bastion Trading, with more managers expected to join in the coming months.
“Hedge funds have traditionally catered to those who can afford million-dollar minimums, locking out countless investors,” said Miguel Kudry, CEO and Co-Founder of L1. “By bringing strategies on-chain and streamlining onboarding, custody, and operations, L1 is redefining access to high-alpha strategies.”
The platform uses tokenised fund shares and smart contract infrastructure to enable real-time reporting, faster subscriptions, and simplified compliance workflows via Keyring’s zero-knowledge proof technology, which supports instant KYC and identity verification without compromising personal data.
L1’s compliant vaults allow hedge funds to tokenise their investment strategies, making them programmable and transparent on-chain. Investors can receive tokenised shares directly to their digital wallets and construct model portfolios combining liquid tokens, yield vaults, and actively managed strategies.
Fasanara Digital’s Louis Stewart, Managing Partner and Head of Technology, said: “We’re excited to collaborate with L1 to bring sophisticated hedge fund strategies within reach of financial advisors and a new wave of investors.”
For hedge funds, the on-chain structure offers operational efficiencies and access to a broader client base. Advisors benefit from model portfolio tools that replicate fund-of-funds-style diversification without the infrastructure burden.
The initiative marks a further step in the integration of decentralised finance (DeFi) into traditional wealth management. L1’s technology partners for the hedge fund launch include Pareto, Keyring, and Bridge.
Founded in 2022, L1 provides infrastructure that allows wealth managers to incorporate digital assets and strategies into discretionary or non-discretionary client portfolios, while maintaining client custody through curated DeFi integrations.
