Owen Simonin is a French crypto entrepreneur, content creator, and angel investor, widely known under his online alias "Hasheur." He built his public profile primarily through his French-language YouTube channel dedicated to blockchain education and crypto market analysis, which grew into one of the most-followed crypto channels in the French-speaking world. Alongside content creation, Simonin has made a small number of early-stage investments in crypto and Web3 projects, positioning himself as an active voice in the French crypto ecosystem rather than a traditional institutional fund manager.
Public information about Simonin's formal investment activity is limited. He does not operate a named fund, and no AUM figure has been publicly disclosed. His angel investments – estimated at around five known portfolio companies – appear to be personal commitments made on the basis of his direct knowledge of projects and founders within the European and global Web3 space. The year he formally began angel investing is not precisely documented in public sources, though his broader involvement in the industry dates back to at least 2017–2018 during the ICO era.
Notable investments
- Specific portfolio companies have not been fully disclosed in public records available at time of writing. Public information about individual deal names, ticket sizes, and round participation is limited.
- Simonin has publicly expressed interest in DeFi infrastructure, Layer 2 solutions, and French or European-founded Web3 startups, based on content published on his YouTube channel and social media.
Team
Simonin operates as a solo angel rather than through a partnership or investment committee. He is the sole publicly identified decision-maker behind his investment activity. No co-investors or analysts are publicly listed as part of a formal team structure.
Recent activity
In the 2024–2026 period, Simonin has remained active as a public commentator on the French crypto scene, covering market developments, regulatory changes in the EU under MiCA, and emerging projects. His social media presence reflects ongoing engagement with founders and projects at the seed and pre-seed stage. No major new fund announcement or institutional partnership has been reported as of early 2026.
Simonin's profile sits at the intersection of media influence and early-stage investing – a pattern common among prominent crypto content creators in Europe. His reach into French-speaking crypto communities in France, Belgium, and beyond gives him deal flow access that traditional fund managers may lack. However, the limited public disclosure around his portfolio makes independent assessment of his track record difficult. Investors and founders looking to engage with him directly would likely do so through his public channels or industry events in France and wider Europe.
