Ex-Dragonfly Partner Omar Kanji Joins Brevan Howard Digital Assets Team

The move signals that established macro and alternative managers are still building out digital-asset teams by hiring from crypto-native venture firms, rather than only from traditional finance. For Dragonfly, losing a partner with four years of tenure removes deal-sourcing depth at a time when crypto venture competition is intense. The open question is whether Brevan Howard's digital assets arm pivots further toward growth-stage and portfolio-management mandates, and whether more crypto-native talent follows the same path into macro funds. Nothing in the item indicates a shift in strategy beyond the hire itself.
