The rapid emergence of crypto-native companies has fundamentally altered the landscape of foreign exchange exposure, risk management, and algorithmic decision-making. Unlike traditional multinational enterprises, crypto-native firms operate at the intersection of volatile digital assets, fiat currencies, decentralized financial infrastructures, and real-time global markets. This creates a uniquely complex foreign exchange (FX) risk environment that cannot be adequately addressed using conventional hedging strategies or static econometric models. In response to this challenge, this article develops a comprehensive, theoretically grounded synthesis of adaptive FX hedging algorithms for crypto-native enterprises by integrating soft computing techniques, deep learning-based time series forecasting, reinforcement learning, predictive coding architectures, and game-theoretic learning frameworks. Drawing strictly on established research in FX prediction, soft computing hybrids, deep neural forecasting, predictive coding theory, and online learning with expert advice, the study constructs a unified conceptual framework that explains how modern hedging systems can dynamically learn, adapt, and self-correct under persistent uncertainty. The methodology emphasizes descriptive and theoretical integration rather than mathematical formalism, detailing how data structuring, agent behavior modeling, and loss-sensitive optimization interact in real-world hedging contexts. The results section provides an extensive descriptive analysis of how such integrated systems outperform static hedging paradigms in terms of adaptability, robustness, and behavioral transparency. The discussion critically examines limitations related to model interpretability, regime shifts, and ethical considerations, while outlining future research directions that bridge neuro-inspired predictive coding with financial decision systems. The article concludes by positioning adaptive, learning-based FX hedging as an essential strategic capability for crypto-native firms navigating an increasingly fragmented and uncertain global monetary ecosystem.
