Runa Digital Assets

Runa Digital Assets

Runa Digital Assets was registered with the SEC as an investment advisor in 2021 by founder Dmitry Lapidus. The firm focuses on the digital asset class, serving institutional clients such as family offices and endowments. It operates out of New York City. The firm invests across a range of digital assets, including cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as blockchain-based tokenized securities. It uses both passive index-based strategies and active management approaches, offering separately managed accounts and pooled fund vehicles. Geographic exposure is primarily to North American and European digital asset markets. Runa Digital Assets does not publicly disclose AUM or headcount. The firm is structured as a limited liability company and maintains SEC registration as an investment advisor. As of 2023, the firm had no publicly reported disciplinary events or recent operational changes. A structural differentiator is its pure-play digital asset mandate within a regulated advisory framework, a combination uncommon among crypto-focused managers. This positioning allows institutional allocators to access digital assets through a traditional advisor relationship with fiduciary obligations.
