Crypto Hedge Fund Split Capital Dissolves, Founder Joins Plasma as Executive

2 hours ago

**Crypto Hedge Fund Split Capital Dissolves; Founder Joins Stablecoin Startup Plasma** April 7 – A Fortune report confirms crypto hedge fund Split Capital has dissolved, with founder Zaheer Ebtikar moving to stablecoin startup Plasma as an executive. Ebtikar stressed the closure was not performance-driven: Split Capital delivered ~100% returns in 2024 and ~20% in 2025. Instead, he cited the crypto hedge fund industry’s fading viability, stating, “The entire crypto hedge fund industry has basically dwindled out of the game.” By the end of 2025, Split Capital returned all investor funds. Backers included venture fund Novi Loren and digital asset firm UTXO Management. Ebtikar declined to name exact assets under management (AUM) but noted it was an “eight-figure” sum. The fund will continue operating on a smaller scale using only proprietary capital.

Another U.S. official slammed Trump as "the most bloodthirsty—like a mad dog" and downplayed claims that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth or Secretary of State Marco Rubio are goading him, adding: "Compared to the president, those guys all sound like doves." Trump has started floating ideas to advisers and confidants about targeting power plants and bridges, asking: "What do you think of the 'Infrastructure Day' idea?"
