Eisler Capital is closing its $4B fund - crushed by talent wars, ballooning costs, and weak returns. This is a signal that the star-trader, top-heavy model is failing.

Why did Eisler fail? Down –1.7% YTD performance, Sky-high talent costs, and investors losing patience. When your business depends on a handful of “stars,” cracks appear fast.

This is the Achilles’ heel of traditional hedge funds: Centralized talent and decision-making = centralized fragility. If your stars falter, so does your edge.

CrunchDAO takes a different approach; we harness 10,000+ ML engineers & 1,200+ PhDs worldwide. Performance isn’t tied to a single person. It’s collective, merit-based, and constantly improving.

The result is continuous improvement models that outperform with privacy and IP protection built in. Proof > promises. Contributors compete, signals emerge, and the best models rise to the top. The cost structure is scalable, flexible, and global.

Eisler’s closure is the symptom. Crunch is the cure. Decentralized intelligence means no single point of failure, lower fixed costs, and more returns.

Hedge funds are bleeding from outdated models. CrunchDAO is building the future: decentralized, meritocratic, resilient predictive intelligence. Cheaper. Smarter. Future-proof!
