Jon Russell calls Crypto.com the most ambitious company in Web3
The newly appointed Jon Russell has spent the last several years working in tech and business reporting, including a five-year spell as the Asia reporter for TechCrunch. In 2019, he created the Southeast Asia edition of The Ken, a media venture with 30,000 paying subscribers. Russell started blogging about cryptocurrency in 2014 and has spoken with prominent executives at events all over the world.Jon Russell comments, "I've had offers to move into crypto full-time before, but Crypto.com is the most ambitious company in web3. The Crypto.com Capital fund brings a very unique advantage to help the world's best web3 founders and startups to realize their potential, and I can't wait to play my part."
Crypto.com has already closed over 20 deals
Crypto.com Capital launched the $200 million fund in March 2021, focusing on seed and Series A investments in sectors like Decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, blockchain games, and the metaverse.It has closed more than 20 deals to date, with Efinity, Alethea AI, Genies, Matter Labs, DeBank, and YGG SEA among its companies' portfolio.
Bobby Bao, the co-founder of Crypto.com, is currently hiring more general partners around the world. Russell will assist the fund in increasing its exposure to Asia-based initiatives. Commenting on new hiring, Bao said:
"Crypto.com Capital is not even one year old, but already we work hand-in-hand with dozens of world-class founders, and we want to find more. Adding Jon Russell to the team is a statement of intent to double down and grow the web3 ecosystem."Asia is growing a massive institutional demand for digital assets at a rapid pace. Recently, Siam Commercial Bank (SCB) of Thailand has purchased a majority share in the major Thai crypto exchange Bitkub.

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.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
