Joe McCann's Asymmetric aims for $1 billion in funding
During an interview with The Block, McCann said that he is looking for the support of companies like Solana, a16z, and more to back its investment company. He went on to highlight the uniqueness of his company.McCann revealed that he has convinced some of the industry's top names, including a16z's Marc Andreessen and Chris Dixon. Asymmetric is also backed by Solana's Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal, CMS's Dan Matuszewski, Circle, FTX, and former Coinbase president Asiff Hirji. Scott Schleifer, the creator of Tiger Global, and Multicoin's Kyle Samani and Tushar Jain are also among the major investors.
"We're excited for Circle Ventures to be an investor in Asymmetric, one of the most forward-thinking funds in crypto," noted Circle's Jeremy Allaire.Notably, a16z itself launched a fully-fledged research unit to solve the "problems" that come with the emerging ideas in the crypto industry. On the other hand, Paradigm has also hired top-tier developers to work along with the investors.
What is Asymmetric?
Asymmetric is a recently-launched crypto-focused investment firm. The CEO said he'd likely call Asymmetric "a technology company investing in technology companies." It will be divided into a venture capital fund and a liquid fund. The former would aim to compete with companies like Paradigm and Multicoin for token deal allocation, while the latter will be run similar to a Wall Street hedge fund with the help of Wall Street's most advanced tools.Members of the company's core team include the former portfolio manager at Brevan Howard, Chris Cecere, the Goldman Sachs alumna Bouchra Darwazah, and the founder of Drizly, Brett Beller.
Before launching Asymmetric, the crypto entrepreneur Joe McCann has a noted contribution to the code of Solana's Anchor set of developer tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
