Marfire’s Head of Funds, Darragh Murphy, joins the Alt Funds Network podcast to discuss what independent oversight looks like for digital asset funds in Cayman.
In conversation with hosts Mike Shroeder and Skyler Steinke, Darragh explores the director's role throughout a fund's lifecycle—from reviewing arrangements before launch to monitoring service providers, managing conflicts and protecting investor interests.
The discussion also examines how the digital asset landscape has matured. More established custodians, specialist service providers and greater institutional participation have strengthened the framework around funds, while new strategies and on-chain activity continue to demand specialist understanding and judgement.
For managers considering a Cayman structure, Darragh addresses practical questions on the distinction between funds and VASPs, board composition, custody and wallet controls.
