Rayne Steinberg Arca — Arca CEO Rayne Steinberg

Digital-asset management firm Arca launched its Arca Digital Yield fund Monday, which it says is the first actively managed income fund in the digital-assets sector.

The fund seeks to offer a digital-asset investment with minimal volatility and is targeting effective yields in the low double digits.
The fund was opened with early access capital from internal and existing investors, and will be available to other investors later this year.
Arca Chief Investment Officer Jeff Dorman and portfolio manager Hassan Bassiri will jointly manage the new fund.
Dorman said in a statement he believes an actively managed fund was a better option than the passive funds currently available because it allowed Arca to take advantage of variable rates of return across different segments of the digital-asset class.
