Biography:

Joe DiPasquale is the CEO of BitBull Capital, which manages cryptocurrency hedge funds, and a co-founder of StartOut, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating business leaders by fostering lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer entrepreneurs.

DiPasquale was born in Connecticut to a family of doctors and received his bachelor’s degree from Harvard University and later his Master of Business Administration from the Stanford Graduate School of Business in 2006. Soon after graduating from Stanford, DiPasquale founded Regroup Mass Notification, a cloud-based mass-notification platform for large organizations. After being part of the LGBTQ+ community at both Harvard and Stanford, DiPasquale co-founded StartOut in 2009.

In 2017, DiPasquale founded and became the CEO of BitBull Capital. The company manages a bundle of crypto hedge funds and has access to closed and exclusive funds. BitBull’s mission is to provide clarity and insight into the crypto markets and crypto-asset investment. DiPasquale has been a cryptocurrency investor since 2013, and apart from his passion for crypto, he is also a figure skater.

DiPasquale’s 2021:

As DiPasquale once explained, “BitBull” is an abbreviation for “Bitcoin bull market.” In 2021, BitBull Capital’s BitBull Fund — which offers accredited investors exposure to diversified, actively managed investment strategies in blockchain and cryptocurrencies — outpaced Bitcoin by about 100%. The fund’s focus is not only on cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance but also nonfungible tokens, the metaverse space and play-to-earn investments.

DiPasquale kept up a proactive role in educating the crypto space through his personal YouTube channel, where he released video interviews with top crypto investors and technologists and produced useful tutorials, among other things.

DiPasquale’s 2022:

DiPasquale is expected to continue being proactive in encouraging more LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs to enter the crypto space and making it even more inclusive. DiPasquale’s active position regarding the importance of visibility and inclusion for members of the LGBTQ+ community will also mark 2022, and he will likely keep promoting financial security and well-being as well as freedom through DeFi instruments.

DiPasquale believes that with 2022’s rising inflation, more investors will consider alternative options for allocating their funds and that cryptocurrency and Bitcoin ETFs give investors “the potential for exposure to an asset class known to outperform traditional markets.” As DiPasquale noted, the skeptical, fearful discourse around cryptocurrencies has changed so that many now see the potential for institutional investors in the crypto market. As such, DiPasquale is expected to play a role in keeping up a positive discourse surrounding the crypto space. 

BitBull started 2022 by launching two new innovative crypto hedge funds: Yield Fund, which focuses on market-neutral DeFi yield farming returns, and Alpha Fund, which focuses on investing in crypto unicorns, with the end goal of outperforming the price of Bitcoin. Overall, DiPasquale will likely keep his bullish approach toward crypto investments and decentralized innovations in 2022.
