The Victor Smorgon Group (VSG) has taken an equity stake in crypto asset investment platform Zerocap.

Zerocap has plans to be a significant full service advisory and investment firm in the crypto sector and has launched its first wholesale fund, The Zerocap Bitcoin Trust, seeded with a material cornerstone investment from VSG.

The fund provides pure bitcoin exposure through a regulated unit trust and is covered by insurance underwritten by Lloyds of London.
