Executive Summary
Arbitra is a blockchain-native hedge fund platform that gives investors access to professionally managed, algorithmic strategies through a secure and decentralized infrastructure. By pooling capital into strategy-specific funds, users gain exposure to sophisticated trading opportunities traditionally reserved for institutions and ultra-high networth individuals.
We’re reimagining hedge fund access for the digital age, combining the scale of collective investing with the speed, adaptability, and openness of blockchain technology. Each fund is tailored to a distinct risk-return profile, allowing investors to align their capital with their financial goals and risk tolerance.
With no minimum deposit, on-demand liquidity, and real-time performance insights, Arbitra offers a flexible and transparent investment experience, without the barriers of traditional finance.
At our core is a commitment to innovation, autonomy, and investor empowerment reshaping how wealth is built in the decentralized era.
Our Team
Rupert Snee is an experienced cryptocurrency investor and entrepreneur who has been actively involved in the blockchain industry since 2017. With a strong foundation in digital markets and a forward-thinking approach to innovation, he has built a reputation for identifying emerging opportunities and executing high-performance strategies in decentralized finance.
In the early stages of the NFT market, Rupert designed and implemented the first tokenized bidding systems on OpenSea, predating the platform’s own collection-wide and trait-based offer features. This system allowed him to bid programmatically across entire collections, providing a significant edge over competition and resulting in substantial profitability. This early innovation exemplifies his ability to anticipate market developments and build practical tools that generate measurable value.
His practical expertise is complemented by formal study in blockchain and digital currency through the University of Nicosia, as well as business and strategy-focused programs with global firms including Goldman Sachs, Accenture, Red Bull, and PepsiCo. These experiences have broadened his commercial acumen and strategic thinking, supporting his role as both a builder and a leader in the digital asset space.
Rupert also gained firsthand experience in traditional finance during an internship with Barclays, where he subsequently accepted a graduate role in the firm’s investment division. However, after gaining this grounding in institutional finance, he made the decision to transition fully into blockchain, a reflection of his belief in the transformative potential of decentralized systems and his commitment to building the future of digital investment.
As the founder of Arbitra, Rupert is now leading the development of a blockchain-native hedge fund platform aimed at delivering institutional-grade strategies to everyday crypto investors. His vision is to expand access to sophisticated financial tools while upholding the principles of transparency, flexibility, and innovation that define the future of decentralized finance.
