Tok-Edge Emerges From Stealth With Institutional Crypto Hedge Fund Targeting $100 Million First Close

Tok-Edge, a digital assets financial services firm founded by veterans of traditional finance and crypto markets, has emerged from stealth as it prepares to launch an institutional crypto hedge fund targeting a $100 million first close.
 

During its stealth phase, Tok-Edge raised approximately $1.5 million at a $15 million valuation, with backing from Marcus Meijer, an experienced traditional finance general partner investor and founder of a $10 billion assets under management fund. Meijer, alongside a syndicate of investors, is set to anchor the fund with up to $10 million in capital as the firm begins raising from institutional allocators including family offices, venture investors and crypto-native funds. The firm says multiple allocators have already expressed intent to participate at fund launch.
 

Tok-Edge is a digital assets financial services firm that bridges institutional investors and the crypto market, offering actively managed exposure to liquid digital assets and decentralised finance strategies through a regulated hedge fund structure.
 

The fund will focus on liquid tokens and decentralised finance opportunities, combining directional market exposure with yield strategies such as staking, lending and liquidity provision. Unlike venture-style crypto funds that typically lock capital for years, Tok-Edge is structuring its fund as a liquid strategy. Following an initial lock-up period, investors will be able to redeem capital at scheduled intervals, a model designed to resemble traditional hedge fund liquidity.

Andreea Artemi, Chief Executive Officer, Tok-Edge commented:

“Crypto has matured to the point where institutional investors want more than passive exposure to a single asset like Bitcoin. What's missing is the kind of disciplined portfolio management that investors expect in traditional markets. Tok-Edge was built to bring that approach to digital assets.”
 

Alongside the fund, Tok-Edge is introducing a digital instrument called the Redemption Token, issued to fund investors and required as part of the redemption process. The token is designed to trade freely on public blockchains and is composable across both centralised and decentralised finance, enabling exchange listings and integration with blockchain protocols.
 

The firm is capping its fund launch at $21 million, which will coincide with its token generation event. Each dollar committed to the fund at launch is mirrored by the issuance of one Redemption Token. Investor allocations are expected to be finalised in the coming months, as the fund targets a $100 million first close later in 2026.

Filippos Kodellas, Founder, Golden Record Ventures said:

“Institutional investors are looking for structures that combine the discipline of traditional finance with the advantages of blockchain innovation. With the Redemption Token, Tok-Edge has introduced a new category of tradeable cryptoasset to the market. This is the kind of structural innovation that defines new market cycles.”
 

The company spent the past year building its platform while assembling a team with experience across traditional finance and crypto. Tok-Edge's leadership includes professionals who previously worked at CVC Capital Partners, Bain Capital, KKR and Boston Consulting Group, alongside traders and builders from the decentralised finance ecosystem, collectively representing over $950 billion in assets under management.
 

The firm's long-term goal is to provide institutional investors with a regulated and structured way to allocate capital to crypto markets, redesigning traditional portfolio management for blockchain infrastructure.
