'''INDIGO Fund''' (legally registered as '''INDIGO DIGITAL ASSET YIELD LTD''') is a private digital asset investment platform incorporated in the [[British Virgin Islands]], with headquarters in [[Miami]], [[United States]]. Founded in 2021 by Thomas Puech, Nathanaël Cohen, and Vivie-Ann Bakos (known professionally as [[BLOND:ISH]]), INDIGO Fund specialises in institutional-grade digital asset yield strategies, combining traditional finance discipline with [[decentralised finance]] (DeFi) execution.

==Background and Founding==

INDIGO Fund was founded in 2021 by Thomas Puech, Nathanaël Cohen, and Vivie-Ann Bakos, following several years of combined experience in institutional cryptocurrency markets. Puech and Cohen had both built careers at Enigma Securities, one of the first [[Financial Conduct Authority]] (FCA)-regulated institutional cryptocurrency brokerage firms in London, where they developed expertise in institutional trading, liquidity provision, and market structure. Bakos, known internationally as BLOND:ISH, is a globally recognised DJ and entrepreneur who had become an early advocate of digital assets, contributing a network of high-net-worth individuals and US-based investors to the venture.

The founding team identified a gap between traditional finance standards and the emerging decentralised finance ecosystem. INDIGO was created to bridge this gap by offering structured, institutional-grade access to digital asset yield strategies.

===Problem Addressed===

At the time of its creation, access to yield in digital assets was largely fragmented, opaque, and difficult to manage for institutional investors. INDIGO Fund was designed to:
*Simplify access to yield opportunities in digital assets
*Improve capital efficiency for institutional clients
*Reduce operational complexity
*Introduce risk-managed, liquid strategies within DeFi infrastructure

==History==

===2021: Foundation and Strategy Development===

The company was incorporated in 2021 as a [[British Virgin Islands]] Business Company. During its founding year, the team focused on developing the fund's core investment strategy and building its operational infrastructure, establishing institutional-grade processes for risk management, counterparty due diligence, and investor onboarding.

===2022: Launch and Initial Capital===

INDIGO Fund launched in 2022 with approximately [[United States dollar|US$]]5.5 million in initial capital. Early investors included '''Winklevoss Capital''' and '''The Sandbox''', alongside prominent hedge fund founders and crypto-native investors. Vivie-Ann Bakos (BLOND:ISH) played a key role in the fund's early momentum by connecting the venture with her network of high-net-worth individuals and US-based investors exploring cryptocurrency exposure.

===2023–2025: Growth and Expansion===

Between 2023 and 2025, INDIGO Fund expanded its yield strategies across multiple digital assets and DeFi protocols, with assets under management growing to approximately US$25 million. The fund developed an international client base spanning the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

In 2023, the fund reported an annual performance of 37.42%, which received coverage from ''[[Business Insider]]'', ''[[Yahoo Finance]]'', ''Access Newswire'', and the ''Universal Business Journal''.

Notable clients and partners during this period included Winklevoss Capital, The Sandbox, the CEO of MoonPay, and Barry Sternlicht, CEO of Starwood Capital.

A central operational challenge during this period was navigating rapidly evolving DeFi markets while maintaining institutional-grade risk management standards. INDIGO addressed this through liquidity-first strategies, diversification across protocols, and strict counterparty and execution frameworks, enabling the platform to operate through different market cycles.

==Products and Services==

===Digital Asset Yield Strategies===

INDIGO Fund provides yield strategies across a broad range of digital assets, including USD, USDC, USDT, EUROC, [[Bitcoin]] (BTC), [[Ethereum]] (ETH), [[Solana]] (SOL), and [[XRP]]. These strategies are designed to generate consistent, risk-adjusted returns through active management of yield positions across DeFi protocols and liquidity venues.

===Market-Neutral and Relative-Value Strategies===

The firm employs market-neutral and relative-value approaches to generate returns that are not directly correlated with the directional movement of cryptocurrency markets, prioritising capital preservation and risk control.

===DeFi Yield Optimisation===

INDIGO actively allocates across DeFi protocols to identify and capture yield opportunities, continuously monitoring risk and liquidity parameters to maintain a balanced and efficient portfolio.

===Institutional Treasury Solutions===

The firm offers treasury management solutions for corporates and institutional clients with digital asset exposure, providing managed access to yield without imposing long-term lock-up structures.

===Liquidity-Focused Portfolio Management===

A defining feature of INDIGO's offering is its emphasis on liquidity. Unlike many digital asset investment vehicles that impose extended lock-up periods, INDIGO structures all strategies to prioritise investor access to capital, supported by continuous risk monitoring, active position management, and institutional onboarding and reporting frameworks.

==Unique Selling Points==

INDIGO Fund differentiates its offering through the following characteristics:
*Liquid strategies with no lock-up structures
*Institutional-grade risk management applied to DeFi execution
*Market-neutral approach to yield generation
*Combination of traditional finance discipline and DeFi infrastructure
*Simplified access to complex digital asset yield strategies

==Operations and Compliance==

INDIGO Fund operates as a [[British Virgin Islands]] Business Company. The firm positions its offering as a managed account and investment strategy, the regulatory classification of which varies depending on jurisdiction and client profile.

The firm applies internal compliance standards aligned with institutional best practices, including:
*[[Know your customer]] (KYC) and [[anti-money laundering]] (AML) procedures for investor onboarding
*Counterparty due diligence and risk assessment
*On-chain monitoring and transaction oversight
*Institutional custody solutions through third-party providers

==Leadership==

INDIGO Fund is led by its three co-founders:

*'''Thomas Puech''' — Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer. Puech began his career at Christofferson, Robb & Company and Square Global Markets before joining Enigma Securities, where he rose to Managing Director. At INDIGO Fund, he oversees global strategy, investor relations, capital raising, and business development.
*'''Nathanaël Cohen''' — Co-Founder & Chief Investment Officer. Cohen began his career at Makor Securities before joining Enigma Securities, where he rose to Head of Sales Trading and was based in [[New York City]] near [[Wall Street]]. At INDIGO Fund, he leads investment strategy, risk management, and capital allocation.
*'''Vivie-Ann Bakos (BLOND:ISH)''' — Co-Founder & Master of Culture. An internationally recognised DJ and entrepreneur, Bakos bridges the worlds of digital assets, [[Web3]], and entertainment, bringing a global network of high-net-worth individuals and cultural partnerships to the fund.

The wider team comprises approximately fifteen employees.

==Ecosystem and Partnerships==

INDIGO Fund operates in close partnership with '''SH Digital''', an institutional cryptocurrency brokerage co-founded by Thomas Puech and Nathanaël Cohen in partnership with a financial group led by the former CEO of [[MoneyGram]]. SH Digital provides cryptocurrency-to-fiat liquidity, large-scale execution, and treasury solutions, serving as a complementary service and key liquidity infrastructure partner for INDIGO Fund.

The firm has established a broader presence across the global Web3 ecosystem through partnerships with DeFi protocols and liquidity venues, strategic relationships with crypto-native and institutional firms, and active participation in major industry events.

==Industry Events==

INDIGO Fund has maintained a prominent presence in the global digital asset and blockchain community through a series of high-profile events and activations:
