Centralization exists because it was the simplest way to leverage capital and information to create market opportunities.

As global algorithmic trading evolved over the past two decades, it has come to represent the bulk of trading in traditional financial markets, significantly improving liquidity and efficiency. However, the digital asset market has lagged, lacking the necessary infrastructure for institutional-level algorithmic trading. High fees, complex integrations, and privacy concerns have led to inefficiencies and hampered growth. While traditional algorithmic trading systems, managed by investment banks, execute trades at optimal prices and volumes, translating this efficiency to digital assets has proven challenging.

Introduction to Stablecoins: Money has served as the cornerstone of economic systems for millennia, evolving first from tangible items to today's digital forms. This progression mirrors continuous efforts to enhance transactional efficiency, security, and reliability across an increasingly intricate globalized economy. A pivotal moment in financial history was the establishment of the Bretton Woods system post-World War II, which linked global currencies to the U.S. dollar and indirectly to gold. However, this system unraveled in 1971, paving the way for the rise of fiat currencies regulated by central governments and backed by nothing more than the “full faith and credit” of the issuing government. The 2008 financial crisis eroded trust in the conventional banking system and spurred the creation of Bitcoin. A decentralized monetary system, designed to operate independently from central banks and government control.

The registration of Varys Capital Ventures (CEIC) was a joint effort executed by FundRock Investment Management Service (ME) Ltd. and Varys Capital, a Cayman-registered company.

The connective tissue between business and authenticity can always be traced back to relationships. The social aspect of growing a company is one of the most challenging landscapes to navigate. Juggling balance sheets and your sanity requires a strong support system that takes years to build, as it happens one handshake, one conversation, and one shared idea at a time.

Varys Capital has two distinct funds: VARVCF, an early-stage, equity-focused venture capital fund, and VARDFI, a delta-neutral high-frequency quantitative trading fund.

The United Arab Emirates' venture capital market is experiencing a surge in funding for tech startups, fueled by government initiatives and an entrepreneurial ecosystem. The total capital raised in 2024 is projected to exceed US$1.1B.

Coined the “Capital of Capitals,” Abu Dhabi is the ideal domain for entities looking to register in the UAE, and with good reason. With 1,905 registered entities, 291 of which are associated with financial services, the workforce grew to over 25,000 individuals, and 71% of companies anticipate an expansion.

As early as 2018, Compound and Aave were the first to introduce permissionless money markets creating pillars for what we know today as DeFi. Yet, after almost four years, little progress has been made for leverage-based DeFi primitives to rival the capital efficiency traditional finance offers. For instance, in traditional finance, prime brokerages offer high-leverage yield products sourced from various avenues. Prime brokerages require undercollateralized lending to provide these services; however, protocols like Aave and Compound, fall short because of low loan-to-value caps, limiting users' ability to fully leverage yield products. This gap results in less liquidity, as LPs are hesitant to take on smart contract risk for low yields. Currently, DeFi growth is bottlenecked by a lack of prime brokerage infrastructure. While existing iterations of decentralized prime brokerages have gained traction, many struggle with generalized leverage, leaving a need for additional prime brokerage infrastructure with protocols such as Blueberry.
