Wall Street Veteran Reinvents the Citadel Model—But for Crypto?
@thecampsishere spent 15+ years on Wall Street—BlackRock, RBC, Oppenheimer. In 2016, he pitched Bitcoin to his firm. They laughed.
Now, he’s the co-founder of @NexystDigital, a multi-strategy quant platform managing 25+ algorithmic strategies across liquid crypto markets.
In our latest @Angels2Allo, Jon shares: 🔹 Why he believes Ethereum’s death is overhyped—and why Bitcoin dominance is just getting started 🔹 The structure behind Nexyst: a crypto-native twist on the Citadel/Millennium model, powered by a decentralized network of quant teams 🔹 Why top traders are walking away from big hedge funds to run strategies their way 🔹 How Nexyst gives investors access to compounding, low-volatility returns—and why their BTC share class has attracted 65% of new capital 🔹 The challenges of alpha decay, exchange risk, and onboarding 300+ quant teams 🔹 Where he thinks tokenization, AI, and the structure of asset management are headed next
If you're building, investing, or just curious where digital asset management is going—you’ll want to hear this one.

Just dropped new ep with the legendary @mdudas, founder of @6thManVentures
We covered: – Why he left Google/Venmo to start The Block – Investing $200M+ thesis at 6MV – Spotting truly crypto-native founders – Token vs equity value – Deep dives on DePIN, NFTs, stablecoins, AI x crypto & more
Educators and professors freaking out over AI is like
– Taxi drivers freaking out over Uber – Hotels owners freaking out over Airbnb – Bankers freaking out about Crypto (although this is no longer the case!)
