United States-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has acquired cryptocurrency-focused hedge fund One River Digital Asset Management, or ORDAM.
In a March 3 blog post, Coinbase said One River Digital will transition to become Coinbase Asset Management, “an independent business and wholly-owned subsidiary” of the crypto exchange. One River Digital is registered as an investment adviser under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and has previously accepted investments from Coinbase to scale its operations.
As part of the acquisition, Coinbase said One River Digital’s team would join the crypto exchange and chief executive officers Eric Peters would stay on as leader under the rebranded firm. The exchange suggested “minimal disruption to current business activities” amid the transition.
