Brevan Howard Digital is launching a stablecoin-focused portfolio after a difficult 2025, according to Financial News. The crypto hedge fund's assets have fallen below $2 billion from a peak of around $2.5 billion, following a nearly 30% loss last year driven by the collapse of Mantra's OM token and weak venture investments. The firm recently backed Augustus, a startup building a "Global Dollar Bank" on stablecoin rails. Under new Chief Investment Officer Chris Rayner-Cook, BH Digital has tightened risk controls and returned to modest positive performance in recent months. Partner Colleen Sullivan said stablecoins enable US dollars to move continuously, whilst traditional banking remains constrained by legacy systems.
