Andrew Kang (“Rewkang”) Capital co-founder and one of Crypto Twitter's most-watched macro traders, known for big directional bets and public token theses that regularly move markets.
Who they are
Andrew Kang is a crypto investor active since around 2016 who went full-time in September 2020, co-founding the venture firm Mechanism Capital with Daryl Lau and Benjamin Simon. He built his following by posting detailed investment theses on tokens and narratives, and is an early DeFi backer of protocols like MakerDAO, Synthetix and Thorchain. He is also a prolific NFT collector (holds 300+ Azuki) and a PleasrDAO participant.
History
Started with a modest portfolio in 2018 and grew it aggressively through DeFi and leverage trading, later formalizing his activity into Mechanism Capital. He is repeatedly cited in the press for outsized directional positions, including a reported ~$200M leveraged long on Bitcoin, and is increasingly channeling capital into humanoid robotics (Apptronik, Figure) as a next frontier.
