Rising Fund – Liquid Crypto Fund | Global, Remote
Rising Fund is a liquid crypto fund founded by professionals from traditional finance and digital assets.
We actively manage a portfolio of liquid crypto assets while selectively investing in early-stage opportunities.
We are seeking a Senior Crypto Trader & Investment Analyst to partner with the Fund Principal in driving trading strategies, research, and portfolio execution.
This role is ideal for a crypto-native trader-researcher with deep knowledge of on-chain markets, DeFi strategies, and tokenomics — someone equally comfortable running directional trades, yield farming, and liquidity management as they are writing high-quality research.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Trading & Portfolio Execution
- Execute trades across CEXs and DeFi venues with precision and risk discipline.
- Actively deploy capital across DeFi strategies (yield farming, liquidity provision, arbitrage) to generate yield while managing risk.
- Monitor positions, liquidity conditions, and funding dynamics to optimize portfolio performance.
- Identify and execute directional trades based on fundamental, on-chain, and technical signals.
- Run scenario analysis, stress tests, and risk frameworks for portfolio hedging and downside protection.
Research & Strategy
- Conduct in-depth research on protocols, tokens, and sectors to identify asymmetric opportunities.
- Produce actionable research reports, trade theses, and investment memos.
- Integrate on-chain analytics, tokenomics, and market structure insights into trading strategies.
- Contribute to macro/thematic outlooks to shape portfolio positioning.
Collaboration & Reporting
- Work directly with the Fund Principal on trade ideas, portfolio allocation, and risk frameworks.
- Support internal reporting, dashboards, and performance attribution.
- Provide inputs for investor communications, including market commentary and trade rationale.
REQUIREMENTS
- 5–7 years in trading, investment research, or portfolio management;
with 2–3+ years direct experience trading crypto (CEX + DeFi). - Proven experience in DeFi strategies (yield farming, liquidity provision, staking, arbitrage) and directional crypto trading.
- Strong knowledge of market microstructure, execution workflows, and risk management in both CEX and DeFi.
- Ability to produce trade-driven, professional-grade research reports.
- Advanced analytical skills: valuation, on-chain data, and quantitative modeling.
- Detail-oriented with strong communication skills (both written reports and trade pitches).
- Self-starter, able to operate in a fast-paced, global remote setup.
- Advanced degree in finance, economics, or related field preferred;
CFA/MBA a plus.
