Q1 2025 Update

April 22, 2025

Friends of Triton Liquid,


Please find our Q1 2025 update here. Note that this is a public version, and for an update that includes fund performance figures, you are welcome to reach out.

Despite the fact that crypto has received the most positive headlines in history, it has just experienced its worst first quarter since 2018. Since crypto assets are generally both the most risky and most liquid assets (traded 24/7 globally), it has evolved into an asset class that reacts fastest to evolving macro dynamics (i.e. interest rates, global liquidity, etc.).


As those who have been following our fund’s evolution know, Triton runs a directional long liquid strategy that uses data to rebalance positions across verticals. We track 24 different verticals in the crypto space (decentralized exchanges, layer 1s, lending products, etc.). For every vertical, the 3-4 most significant variables are always macro related. As such, the market impacts following the recent global increase in tariffs have significantly compressed altcoin valuations.


Given our strategy, down quarters like Q1 2025 present a particularly attractive opportunity and to put it plainly - there may not be a better opportunity to invest in directional liquid funds than this year, which we will elaborate on during the course of this letter. We have built a substantial repository of data and research and have a shopping list prepared for assets that we now see at increasingly attractive entry points.


Please reach out to Chris@tritonliquid.com and Luis@tritonliquid.com to set up a time. 


Chris is based in the UAE and available for in person meetings in Dubai and Abu Dhabi from now until the summer.


Sincerely,


Christopher Keshian
Founder and CIO of Triton Liquid Fund

Triton in the UAE

Triton expanded its UAE presence this quarter, joining panels in Abu Dhabi and Dubai to show how digital assets fit inside regulated portfolios. From tokenization to allocator standards and macro-driven entries, the focus was on structure, controls, and institutional execution.

Hot Summer Stablecoins

Stablecoin supply climbed from $239B to nearly $300B, led by USDT and USDC, while Tether, Circle, Stripe, and Cloudflare launched new projects accelerating global adoption.

Marinade for that Stake

Marinade runs $2.5B on Solana, yielding $170M yearly. Tokenomics overhaul in 2025 sparked buybacks, burns, and rewards, driving MNDE up ~140%.
