Portrait of Rezo Shmertz
Rezo Shmertz2026

More than twenty years around finance taught me to look past the visible product to the structure deciding the market.

I have worked in crypto since 2015—as an investor, founder, and persistent student of how ownership, liquidity, trust, and distribution change when the rails change.

I founded Super Protocol and BR Labs and co-founded BR Capital and T-Digital. The work spans digital-asset investing, financial software, confidential AI infrastructure, and research published in public.

The through-line is structural: find the constraint, understand the mechanism, and stay close enough to the system to revise the thesis when the evidence changes.
