A crypto fund called Token-as-a-Service is building an analytics platform named Kepler to help investors navigate the digital asset markets. Kepler will cover the full investment process: market research, due diligence, order management, risk exposure, and performance forecasting. It's designed to be the first Bloomberg-equivalent for analyzing and interpreting crypto market data, with private beta expected later this year.

TaaS built Kepler to address major obstacles confronting early crypto investors. Dimitri Chupryna, the fund's co-founder, identifies the core issue: "issues that make it impossible for institutional or traditional investors to access the world's fastest growing market." The platform, he adds, was "designed to reduce the risks and barriers faced by investors when entering the surging blockchain and cryptocurrency space." Kepler aims to strip away complexity and make advanced analytics accessible to beginners.

The fund itself is tokenized and operates on the Ethereum blockchain. TaaS developed Cryptographic Audit technology in-house to track and timestamp all trading activity. The system records each transaction on an immutable ledger, providing investors with complete insight into fund operations, profit calculations, money flows, and asset verification. Unlike traditional closed-end funds, which issue a fixed number of unredeemable shares, TaaS distributes tokens built on an Ethereum profit-sharing smart contract. These tokens represent a proof-of-membership in the fund and provide holders with 50 percent of the fund's quarterly profits. The company intends to list its tokens on major exchanges including Kraken, Poloniex, and Bittrex.

The board includes John Wong, a fund management expert; Mike Costache, a serial entrepreneur and investor; Marshall Swatt, a blockchain and digital currency trading specialist; and Arnold Spencer, a legal expert.
