Anish Agnihotri

I build and work with focused, technically ambitious teams on blockchain infrastructure, financial markets, and protocol engineering.

Most recently, I co-founded Native Markets, where we scaled the USDH stablecoin on Hyperliquid to $100M in supply and sold it to Coinbase.

Previously, I was the first of fifty at Ritual, a solo on-chain arbitrageur, researcher at Paradigm, and prop trader at Polychain Capital.
