Rezo Shmertz is Building Partner of Axis Eight (/ A8) and Founder of BR Capital. He builds vertically integrated trading businesses that scale across every venue and strategy, centralized and on-chain.

He has been in digital assets since the early days of the market and founded BR Capital in 2018. Over eight years the firm moved from extensive venture and trading into liquid strategies only; built and backed two trading businesses that are live today: a quantitative trading firm on centralized exchanges, and an on-chain desk running solver, arbitrage and other liquidity strategies.

Axis Eight brings both under one roof. It launches in 2026 to become a large institutional, multi-strategy digital asset manager. One firm to own the full chain, from research and execution to capital management.

Rezo is also the founder of Super Protocol, a decentralized confidential computing company for most valuable AI workloads.

He works between Tbilisi, Dubai and Tel Aviv.
