Beyond A Single Coin
Crossgate Capital is providing New Zealanders with access to a diversified crypto portfolio that goes beyond a single asset such as Bitcoin. Instead of investing in one asset, the Auckland based company invests across multiple categories and sectors within the digital asset ecosystem, combining core holdings with selected themes.
“Many traditional investors don’t just invest in one company, they invest across sectors. We do the same in crypto, building by category and sector to target more opportunities,” says Crossgate Capital director Scott Lester. “Investors can therefore participate in a wider range of blockchain innovations, not just one coin or narrative.”
Portfolio built across 13 assets
Crossgate Capital’s portfolio currently includes thirteen cryptocurrencies, providing exposure to a mix of larger assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum alongside carefully selected altcoins. These holdings span multiple sectors, including payments, smart contract platforms, decentralised finance (DeFi), data oracles, entertainment and decentralised artificial intelligence.
“Core positions in Bitcoin and Ethereum sit alongside assets that focus on different use cases, from payments to smart contracts and the emerging decentralised AI sector,” says Lester. “We think in terms of roles and functions in the digital economy, and then build a portfolio that reflects those themes.”
To be considered for inclusion, a cryptocurrency must meet minimum criteria, including a market capitalisation threshold of at least NZD 500 million at the time of purchase, with a focus on more established projects. The team reviews asset weightings and monitors other assets that may warrant inclusion over time.
A diversified patient approach
Crossgate Capital describes its investment style as patient and long term, with a diversified portfolio that blends more established assets with selected altcoins. The company’s framework focuses on factors such as business use case, development activity, adoption potential, scalability, and user activity when assessing potential portfolio assets.
“Diversification does not remove risk, but it can help investors gain exposure to the broader development of blockchain technologies rather than relying on the success of any single coin,” says Lester. “We believe that thinking by category and sector is a more structured way to participate in this evolving market.”
