Nine Blocks Capital Management

In November 2023, Nine Blocks became the first crypto hedge fund to be licensed by Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), a significant milestone in the region's regulatory landscape. This license permits the firm to offer digital asset management and investment products to institutional and qualified investors in Dubai.

The firm is backed by Hong Kong's Nine Masts Capital, which provided the initial $75 million in capital and continues to support Nine Blocks with working capital and institutional expertise. With a team of 20 professionals across Dubai, Singapore, and Hong Kong, Nine Blocks combines traditional finance experience with deep crypto industry knowledge.

Nine Blocks Capital Management is committed to operational excellence, emphasizing rigorous due diligence, counterparty risk management, and the exclusive use of tier-1 service providers. The firm's mission is to become the world's leading regulated crypto asset management firm, providing institutional investors with secure and innovative exposure to digital assets.
