Liquid crypto funds struggle with DeFi operations as legacy tools fall short

In a guest post, Renesis founder and CEO Thomas Pratter argues that many liquid crypto funds pursuing DeFi strategies still rely on spreadsheets, scripts, and manual reconciliation to manage portfolios across exchanges and chains. He contends that DeFi’s complex positions, combined with growing institutional reporting demands, expose a tooling gap that legacy portfolio systems cannot handle. Pratter says AI-driven categorization and unified CeFi/DeFi infrastructure are essential to deliver accurate portfolio views and LP-grade reporting for institutional DeFi funds.
