In 2017, Numerai became the first hedge fund to introduce its own cryptocurrency, Numeraire (NMR), as a means to incentivize the data scientists participating in its tournaments. The introduction of Numeraire was intended to incentivise better modeling, encourage collaboration amongst participants, and facilitate payment accross borders.

Also in 2017, Numerai announced an unconventional addition to its health plan: cryogenic freezing. This unique benefit offers employees the opportunity to be cryogenically preserved after death.

Numerai is a hedge fund headquarted in San Francisco, California, founded by South African Richard Craib in October, 2015. Craib is responsible for the firm's unique approach: hosting an open data-science competition, in which anonymous competitiors compete to make the best stock market predictions using machine learning models trained on obfuscated financial data. Competitor’s are rewarded with a digital currency known as Numeraire in proportion to the quality of their predictions. As of 2022, Numerai had paid out $63 million in Cryptocurrency to the data scientists. From September 2019 to December 2021, the crowdsourced hedge fund returned 21%, outperforming traditional quantitative funds which experienced net losses during the same period.

Established in October, 2015, Numerai's inception was driven by Craib's vision of leveraging both artificial intelligence and collective intelligence to make investment decisions. In December of the same year the firm began hosting a continuous competition, inviting data scientists to use machine learning models to predict stock market trends.

In April of 2016, Numerai secured an initail $1.5 million in funding from a group of investors lead by Howard Morgan and Naval Ravikant. By the end of 2016, Union Square Ventures joined as investors, raising an additional $6 million.

In 2017, the Numerai company issued 1 million NMR tokens and distributed the coins to data scientists who previously participated in tournaments. The main goal behind the project is to allow users to trade equities through an automated model based on AI, machine learning, data science, and cryptography.

Numeraire has had a volatile expansion in the cryptocurrency market. Released in 2017, it reached a peak of over $59 in early January 2018, but then it started a bear market. The trend shows that it has been negatively affected by the sell-off in the crypto space and the currency reached a new all-time low close to $2 in late 2018.

When compared to BTC, it has also had a difficult time in the last years (since it was released). Indeed, Numeraire had its highest value when compared to Bitcoin when it was first released in 2017. The coin was never able to recover this price level in BTC terms.

Despite that, 2020 has been a very positive year for Numeraire. Indeed, it could recover in BTC terms to the price it had right after the launch in mid-2017. Although it didn’t reach all-time highs when compared to Bitcoin, it did reach a new ATH in USD terms. The virtual currency was able to surge to as much as $57 per coin in August 2020.

Let’s not forget that 2020 has been a good year for virtual currencies after a difficult start after the March 2020 crash due to COVID-19 restrictions. After making a new all-time high, Numeraire was not able to keep its value and it started a new downtrend that lasted until 2021.

In January, after reaching a price bottom of $23, the coin started to move higher as the entire crypto market towards a new all-time high of $80 per coin. This was the best moment for NMR since it was released to the market in USD terms. However, the cryptocurrency remains close to its lowest value in BTC terms.

In 2017, the Numerai company issued 1 million NMR tokens and distributed the coins to data scientists who previously participated in tournaments.
