London-based digital asset hedge fund Karatage announces new move—officially promoting Shane O'Callaghan to Senior Partner and appointing him as Head of Institutional Strategy.

O'Callaghan has an impressive background. Most recently, he was responsible for global institutional partnerships and digital asset sales at IMC Trading, a leading trading firm, leveraging extensive connections in both traditional finance and the crypto space. Prior to that, he served as Global Business Development Lead at Portofino Technologies, a crypto trading platform, thoroughly immersing himself in the digital asset ecosystem. Early in his career, he also gained experience at BlockFi, which has since exited the market.

This appointment signals Karatage's increased focus on institutional strategy—by bringing in senior executives with rich industry experience to strengthen cooperation with institutional clients and expand market presence. In the increasingly competitive digital asset hedge fund landscape, such personnel adjustments often indicate new strategic initiatives by the fund.
