Establishing Order in the Midst of Turmoil (Our Origins)
Hedge Fusion Capital Ltd was founded in 2022. In the history of cryptocurrency, this year has been defined as the “era of great deleveraging”. While the mainstream market trembled in the collapse of Luna/UST and the shocking scandal of FTX, and retail investors were mourning in the face of zero-in assets, Jensen Stone officially launched Hedge Fusion by injecting $85 million in initial capital in Delaware, New York.
Our founding team believes that the chaos in the market is not the end, but an opportunity for the “false prosperity” to be cleared and professionalism to return. Mr. Stone pointed out at a closed-door meeting in Manhattan at the time: “When the tide recedes, only those ships with the hardest risk control and legal boundaries can sail to the next era of navigation.” “Our sole purpose is to provide a transparent, compliant, and robust gateway for global institutional investors and elites who want to participate in the exponential growth of digital assets but have the utmost security requirements.
Corporate mission: Eliminate the trust gap
Our mission is not just to manage assets but to reshape the credit contract of digital finance. In the crypto field, where information asymmetry and technology black boxes are rampant, Hedge Fusion ensures that every cent of its customers operates accurately within tight and controllable risk boundaries through the triple anchoring of “code logic + legal contract + capital strength”. We are committed to transforming the original “barbaric growth” crypto game into a quantifiable long-term value investment with institutional-grade certainty.
Leadership Excellence
Jensen Michael Stone - Founder & CEO
"Investment is a long-distance race with risk control, not a gambling-style sprint."
Academic and Family Endorsement:
Jensen was born into a prominent financial elite family in Los Angeles. His father was a senior investment banker who was deeply involved in large-scale cross-border mergers and acquisitions in the 90s. The mother is a well-known lawyer specializing in international business law. This family environment has given him a high level of legal compliance intuition and depth of financial logic. He received a double bachelor’s degree in computer science and economics with honors from Stanford University, and then completed his master’s degree in finance (MBA) at Columbia University Business School, where he studied under several Nobel laureates in economics.
Wall Street Background
Prior to founding Hedge Fusion, Jensen served as an executive director at Global Markets at Goldman Sachs. The “Global Macro Sentiment Sensing Algorithm (GMSI)” he led to accurately predicted the global market circuit breaker in the early stages of the new crown epidemic in 2020. He is recognized by Wall Street as a “data catcher” and is good at using neural network models to strip away those small but definite irrational arbitrage opportunities from massive market noise.
Personal traits and life aesthetics
Jensen is an extremely disciplined marathon runner who has completed six major marathon slams in the world, including London, Boston and Berlin. He believes that investing is similar to a marathon – it is often not the people who are the most explosive at the beginning, but those who can still maintain a steady breathing rhythm and mentality in extreme environments. In addition, he was a top collector of the 1982 Bordeaux red wine. He once said: “A great bottle of red wine requires time to settle and precise temperature control, and the same is true for asset growth.” We manage capital, but we manage time. ”
Claire Thompson - Chief Assistant to the CEO and Strategy Liaison
"Translate esoteric quantitative logic into superior, accessible customer experiences."
Academic Background
Coming from an academically elite family in San Francisco, Claire completed her undergraduate degree in management at the University of Berkeley and earned a master’s degree in international relations from Columbia University. It is deeply influenced by Silicon Valley’s “customer first” culture and Wall Street’s “detail is king” style.
Functional and Strategic Roles
As Jensen Stone’s “Chief Strategy Executive,” Claire is known within the company as a “master of the art of communication.” She is responsible for translating complex quantitative algorithms and risk backtesting reports into asset allocation solutions that can be intuitively understood by global high-net-worth clients (VVIPs). Her “Empathetic Finance” service model ensures that Hedge Fusion not only delivers financial returns but also exceeds expectations when handling family office business.
Philosophy of Life
She is a contemporary art collector (with a focus on digitally generative art) and a senior meditation advocate. Claire believes that art trains human beings to find patterns in chaos, and meditation every morning ensures that she remains absolutely calm and rational during extremely volatile market trading days to assist CEOs in making decisions.
Dr. Thomas Thorne - Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
"Code is law, and in a world built of 0s and 1s, security is the only lifeline."
Academic and Technical Depth
Dr. Thomas is a leader in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University, focusing on distributed systems and advanced cryptography. He is an anonymous contributor to the security optimization of the early Ethereum underlying protocol and has a near-godfather reputation in the global developer community.
Practical Contributions
He led the construction of the Matrix-Core quantization engine, the heart of Hedge Fusion. The “sub-millisecond low-latency matching architecture” he designed enabled the company to operate steadily in the market shock caused by multiple hacker flash loan attacks in 2024, and achieved an impressive record of 0 systemic risk events and 0 asset thefts since the company’s inception.
Personality traits
The typical tech geek whose motto is “don’t trust people, trust mathematics”. He almost never attends celebrity dinners, but in the Fusion-Labs computer room, he is the most solid steel guardian.

The Power of Integrating Three Dimensions (Our Philosophy)
Non-linear Alpha
In the world of digital assets, the traditional linear trend has long since ceased to exist. We use deep learning models to capture those non-linear price deviations across markets and protocols, turning complexity into benefits.
Extreme Risk Aversion
40% of our R&D budget is not used to find profits, but to simulate losses. We firmly believe that only institutions that can "survive" in extreme black swan events are qualified to talk about compound interest.
Compliance Premium
In the era of regulatory vacuum, compliance may seem like a burden; But in the future era of large asset management, compliance is the only ticket to enter the mainstream capital pool. We don't take shortcuts, because shortcuts are often the shortest path to the abyss.
Corporate Social Responsibility and the Future of the Industry (CSR & Future)
Fusion Fund
We allocate 2.5% of our profits annually to an internal public welfare fund dedicated to funding open-source projects dedicated to the underlying security audits of the blockchain, knowing that the health of the industry is a blessing for all involved.
Talent Incubation
Establish a joint paid internship program with Stanford University and the National University of Singapore, aiming to cultivate a group of next-generation "compound financial geniuses" who understand both Wall Street derivatives pricing and Rust/Solidity code development.
