6116.ai Announces AI-Native Fintech Infrastructure for Digital Asset Funds
Software company has built proprietary AI systems for market intelligence, on-chain analytics, execution support, and institutional digital asset fund operations.
6116.ai today announced its AI-native fintech infrastructure company, built to support the next generation of digital asset funds and Web3 investment strategies.
6116.ai has developed proprietary technology designed to help digital asset fund managers analyze markets, monitor on-chain activity, identify opportunities, support trade execution, and improve operational reporting across fast-moving crypto markets.
The technology is currently being used inside affiliated digital asset funds, including the 6116 Income Fund and the 6116 Alpha Fund. Over time, 6116.ai intends to make portions of its fintech infrastructure available to other digital asset funds, allocators, and institutional market participants.
6116.ai was created to address a growing gap in the digital asset industry: while crypto markets operate around the clock and produce massive amounts of on-chain, social, and market data, many investment teams still rely on fragmented tools, manual research workflows, and legacy reporting systems.
“Digital asset funds are operating in markets that move faster than traditional finance was built to handle,” said Steve Smith, CEO of 6116.ai. “We built 6116.ai to create the intelligence and automation layer that helps fund managers process more information, identify better opportunities, and operate with greater discipline.”
The company’s fintech infrastructure includes AI-driven signal generation, sentiment analysis, on-chain intelligence, execution support, cross-chain opportunity detection, and compliance-aligned reporting.
The 6116 Income Fund is an affiliated digital asset fund designed to pursue structured yield opportunities across decentralized finance, real-world asset baskets, liquidity provision, staking infrastructure, and hedged derivatives. The 6116 Alpha Fund is an affiliated digital asset fund designed to pursue asymmetric upside through AI-assisted market intelligence, thematic positioning, and active digital asset strategies.
6116.ai serves as the software and infrastructure layer supporting research, monitoring, execution support, analytics, and reporting workflows used by the affiliated funds. This separation allows the funds to focus on investment management while 6116.ai focuses on the technology infrastructure that supports digital asset fund operations.
“What makes 6116.ai different is that we are not simply building software in theory,” said Steve Smith. “Our technology is already being used inside affiliated digital asset funds, giving us a real-world operating environment to refine the infrastructure before expanding into broader institutional use cases.”
6116.ai’s leadership team combines experience across digital assets, enterprise technology, artificial intelligence, fintech architecture, and institutional fund operations. Steve Smith serves as CEO of 6116.ai, leading the software company’s commercialization and business strategy. Suren Machiraju serves as CTO of 6116.ai, leading the company’s technology architecture and AI infrastructure. Matt Montellione serves as Chief Investment Officer of the affiliated funds, leading digital asset strategy and portfolio management.
6116.ai is entering the market at a time when artificial intelligence, blockchain data, and institutional digital asset management are increasingly converging. As the digital asset industry matures, the company believes fund managers will need more advanced infrastructure to monitor opportunities, manage risk, automate workflows, and report to investors with greater transparency.
“Crypto markets produce enormous amounts of data, but data alone is not useful without systems that can interpret it and act on it intelligently,” said Suren Machiraju, CTO of 6116.ai. “Our focus is on building technology that helps investment teams move from fragmented tools to intelligent infrastructure.”
6116.ai is continuing to explore broader institutional use cases for its fintech platform, including potential software, data, analytics, and infrastructure products for digital asset funds and other Web3 market participants.
