AMSTERDAM, Jan. 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Theta Capital Management, the Amsterdam-based hedge fund and crypto-native venture capital specialist, has launched its third Theta Blockchain Ventures vehicle to invest in the core blockchain infrastructure of the earliest stages.
Theta Blockchain Ventures III is a continuation of Theta’s Fund of Funds program investing in crypto-native VCs. The firm has deployed over $500 million to date and has backed many leading companies and protocols from the earliest stages through its broad network of specialist VC firms.
John van Marle of Theta Capital said: “We believe that blockchain technology has tremendous long-term value and that our diversified approach is particularly well-suited to the current market environment. While there are localized risks within the crypto ecosystem, now is the ideal time to to build diversified exposure to this innovative and transformative technology across verticals.”
The investment mission of Theta Blockchain Ventures is that the digital infrastructure provided by crypto-protocols will quickly become the economic backbone of an increasingly digital world. The technology continued to develop rapidly through 2022 and into 2023 and continues to resolve its early bottlenecks. It has reached a tipping point where it is now ready to start bringing hundreds of millions of users. Already, these crypto protocols support trillions of dollars of economic activity.
“There has been a clear disconnect between technological progress and increased adoption on the one hand and investor sentiment on the other. The poor macro backdrop and the actions of several bad actors have contributed to this low sentiment. For us, it provides an opportunity to further establish our footprint in this industry at a very appropriate time, says Van Marle.
