The launch comes as BH Digital, Brevan Howard’s crypto hedge fund which manages $2.3 billion, reported a 20% increase in assets under management in the first half of 2024. As crypto.news <a href="https://crypto.news/brevan-howards-crypto-fund-gains-20-hitting-2-3b-in-aum-report/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>, since its launch in late 2021, BH Digital has seen its assets swell to $2.3 billion, with a more than 50% gain since its trading debut in March 2022.
