Stephen McClurg, former co-founder of Valkyrie and founder of Canary Capital, emphasized the growing demand for cryptocurrency investment options beyond popular assets like Bitcoin (BTC). He noted that despite the interest, many institutional investors lack reliable options to invest in the most innovative cryptocurrency projects.
“Demand for crypto offerings appears to be accelerating since the launch of Spot Bitcoin ETFs this year, however there remains a gap in terms of companies with institutional expertise that are willing to continue innovating and providing solutions beyond retail products.”

The Canary HBAR Trust addresses this gap, paving the way for future cryptocurrency-focused investment funds such as ETFs. The trust is available to accredited individual and institutional investors, representing an opportunity for those looking to diversify their cryptocurrency portfolios.
In addition, Canary Capital offers other cryptocurrency hedge fund solutions, targeting sophisticated and institutional investors looking for a mix of crypto and fixed income strategies.
