Marc P. Bernegger Sells His Crypto News Platform to US Publication Crypto Funds Watch
Swiss crypto pioneer Marc P. Bernegger has sold his crypto news platform, CryptoFund.News, to the American publication Crypto Funds Watch. The announcement was revealed in a LinkedIn post last Friday, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of a market that Bernegger describes as having grown "strongly and professionalized" since the platform’s inception.
A Strategic Acquisition in a Growing Market
Crypto Funds Watch, a monthly publication with a curated community of over 4,000 institutional professionals in the crypto fund segment, acquired CryptoFund.News to consolidate expertise and resources. Founded in 2020 by Bernegger, CryptoFund.News quickly established itself as an influential media outlet specifically targeting crypto funds and digital asset managers—a lucrative and niche audience.
Bernegger emphasized the strategic nature of the deal, stating to finews.ch, "Back then, the market was still in its infancy; meanwhile, it has grown significantly and become much more professionalized. With the takeover, forces are being combined to better meet the needs of the still rapidly expanding market."
Focusing on a Lucrative Target Group
According to Bernegger, the platform’s business model included advertising and partnerships, with a key focus on building a very small but highly lucrative target group. Today, around 800 crypto funds exist globally, split roughly equally between venture capital and hedge funds. Both CryptoFund.News and Crypto Funds Watch primarily focus on serving representatives from these segments, providing specialized content and community engagement.
