blockchain investment and advisory firm based in Hong Kong, has revealed that
its proprietary investment portfolio has recorded year-to-date returns of 77

prudent risk management and proprietary in-house trading tools. ��

"As active leaders in the global blockchain community, we
see where the strongest investment opportunities lie and rising trends that are
influencing traditional industries," said Daniel Weinberg, CEO of Kenetic.
"During this volatile period, our proprietary investment portfolio continued to
outperform many crypto funds as a result of our deep institutional investment
experience and strong risk management."

To facilitate professional investor access to these
opportunities, Kenetic and Venture Smart Asia Limited
(VSAL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Venture Smart Financial Group (VSFG) and
a Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission-licensed corporation that
provides wealth management and asset management services, have established a
strategic partnership that will give qualified professional investors access to
cryptocurrency investment funds.

Through this partnership, the two companies will work
together to develop cryptocurrency investment funds for professional investors
leveraging the respective expertise and resources of both entities. Distributed
by VSAL, the new funds will offer eligible investors the ability to diversify
their portfolios with digital assets across different passive and active
strategies.

institutional-grade investment products in the digital asset space," said Mark
Brady, Executive Director at VSFG. "We work with the best partners to build
