February 18—Cryptocurrency venture capital firm Dragonfly Capital said Thursday it has closed its $650 million fourth fund, a rare countertrend win amid the crypto market slump and widespread funding pressures. Partner Rob Hadick noted the fund’s success stemmed largely from the firm’s focus on "winner" categories, including early bets on prediction market Polymarket and stablecoin payment card issuer Rain. Founded in 2018 by Alex Pack and Bo Feng, Dragonfly has navigated team adjustments and exited the Chinese market. In recent years, under leaders Haseeb Qureshi and Tom Schmidt, it has built a leading industry position.

**Brevan Howard’s Crypto Fund BH Digital Asset Posts 29.5% 2025 Loss—Worst Since 2021 Launch** The well-known asset manager Brevan Howard’s cryptocurrency fund, BH Digital Asset, recorded a 29.5% drop in 2025, marking its worst annual performance since its 2021 inception. As Bitcoin’s bull run lost steam last year, BH Digital Asset faced heavy pressure and underperformed the leading crypto. Data shows Bitcoin declined 6% in 2025 for the full year. BH Digital Asset primarily invests in cryptocurrencies and digital asset-related firms. Previously, during market recovery phases, the fund delivered annual gains of 43% in 2023 and 52% in 2024—when Bitcoin briefly topped $100,000 in December 2024. Some hedge fund investors noted the fund holds a large amount of private equity and venture capital assets, which faced headwinds amid 2025’s broadly weak cryptocurrency market environment. Brevan Howard has not yet publicly commented on the reports.
