Steven Cohen will invest in a new crypto trading firm in the billionaire hedge-fund manager’s latest bet on the cryptocurrency market.

  • A spokeswoman from Point72 Asset Management, Cohen’s hedge-fund firm, has said that Cohen is investing in Radkl in a personal capacity and won’t be involved in its day-to-day operations.
