Investment types
- VENTURE EQUITY: Exposure to equity in companies building products and services in the nascent blockchain ecosystem. Our long standing reputation and technical edge allows us to see virtually every deal in the market, and lead about half of our portfolio company investments.
- EARLY-STAGE TOKENS: Exposure to new, efficient, and scalable protocols. Similar to venture capital equity, but investing in tokens (not companies) during the private stage at a discount to the listing price.
- LIQUID TOKENS: Exposure to the largest and most liquid digital assets. We use our deep market and technical expertise to trade tokens while exploiting market inefficiencies.
