Focused, transparent, professionally managed exposure to the world’s fastest growing asset class
DACM’s story
Blockchain technology is driving a generational shift in the concept of what stores value, acceptance of digitisation and disintermediation of traditional institutions.
After a career in technology-related investment banking at JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, Richard Galvin recognised the potential of blockchain technology to disrupt and reshape some of the global economy’s largest sectors and co-founded DACM in 2017 to focus on investing in blockchain technology disruption.
DACM’s funds have since been recognised as some of the top performing funds of their categories - Digital Asset Fund (DAF) was awarded the highest performing long-only fund in 2020 and 2021, and DACM Liquid Venture Fund (DACM LV) the top performing crypto venture fund in 2020.
Today, DACM has built a team of experts and investment capabilities to manage investors’ capital in this burgeoning asset class.
We are a global team with technology, digital assets, financial markets, risk management and investment experience from leading institutions. Years of digital asset ecosystem participation have built deep relationships with crypto founders, developers and co-investors, delivering unique insight with global connectivity and investment opportunities.

DACM’s investment philosophy
A focus on “concept-to-adoption” growth
Finding exponential growth opportunities helping to drive outperformance
Tech disruption is methodical and focuses on sectors that are the “lowest hanging fruit” where the tech can demonstrate an ability to attract users, revenue and capital.
Following initial wins, disruption moves to progressively harder use-cases, leveraging benefits of larger entrepreneur/developer base and access to capital.
The most asymmetric returns are delivered from positioning in sectors when their applicability to blockchain tech is still a concept (but DACM has conviction) and adoption is likely in a reasonable investment period.
