Having been part of the @token2049 journey for years, I know how much heart goes into every edition from the organizers and our ecosystem. This was not an easy call but it was absolutely the right one. Safety and community first over everything. @Binance and I will be front row in Dubai, April 2027. See you there. 🙌

Anyone who has produced events at this scale knows that pivoting something like this is no small feat. The operational lift behind this is enormous. True leadership is putting the safety and comfort of your community first! Respect to the @token2049 team for making a thoughtful call and navigating a tough moment. 💜 see you in Singapore in October and Dubai next year!

We just closed Dragonfly Fund IV at $650M. It's a big milestone, and yet, it’s a weird time to celebrate. Spirits are low, fear is extreme, and the gloom of a bear market has set in. But here's the thing: we raised almost every single Dragonfly fund into bear markets. Fund I we raised through the 2018 ICO winter, when almost nobody believed in this space anymore. Fund III we raised right before Luna collapsed. Those were brutal times to deploy capital. But they turned out to be our best vintages. Last week I caught a lot of heat for arguing that non-financial crypto has failed. I meant that. But the flip side of that argument is: financial crypto is exploding. Stablecoins are eating the world. DeFi has grown so big it's rivaling CeFi. Financial institutions around the world are racing to build out their crypto strategies. And prediction markets are becoming the most trusted source of truth on the internet. Fund IV is our biggest bet yet that the crypto revolution is still early in its exponential. If you look at our recent bets—Polymarket, Ethena, Rain, Mesh—the growth speaks for itself. Agentic payments, on-chain privacy, the tokenization of everything—crypto's surface area is about to explode, and we want to be backing the founders at the center of it. We've always believed that the most important work gets done when the noise dies down. We believe moment is now. In fact, we’re putting money on it. If you're building what comes next, @ us.

Maelstrom Equity Fund I, L.P.* is out of the bag Let's dive in - * @CryptoHayes' debut external fund, the first control-buyout PE fund ever to specialize solely on the crypto industry. Targets = profitable, off-chain 'picks and shovels'. Why we are building this: - Problem 1: Founders of cash-flowing, off-chain 'picks and shovels' businesses lack clean exit oppties (current paths to liquidity: "yay we sold the business to Coinbase...only to become mid-tier Coinbase employees for the next 2 years, paid mostly in NASDAQ: COIN over 4 years"). - Problem 2: New TradFi/Silicon Valley entrants to crypto (both present and future, e.g. Robinhood, Charles Schwab, X, Wealthfront, etc.) struggle to find polished, turnkey businesses to acquire (there are diamonds in the rough, but these are difficult for newcomers to source, and require a crypto-native approach to DD; +most of these businesses are not yet integration-ready) - Problem 3: Capital allocators (think pension funds, family offices, etc.) want to deploy into crypto-focused funds *at scale* (9-figure+ sums), but current options e.g. "scaled", large crypto VC funds deliver poor risk-adjusted returns (we’re LPs in many; we know). Our Solutions: - ...to Problem 1: Provide founders cash-heavy, 'clean' exits at reasonable valuations (win-win: more upfront cash for founders sans being subject to 2-4 year unlocks of strategic acquirers' token/stock; with lower entry valuations, leading to higher LP upside for investors in Maelstrom Equity Fund I). - ...to Problem 2: Partner with management teams and our crypto-native executive network (Arthur founded one of the first profitable unicorns in crypto; he knows how to build, and knows all the top builders of the past decade) to create the highest-quality, acquisition-ready portfolio of cash-flowing, growing businesses for future buyers of crypto businesses like Robinhood, Charles Schwab, X, Wealthfront, etc.. - ...to Problem 3: Offer LPs a chance to deploy capital at scale (9-figures +) into the most fundamentally valuable (i.e. actually cashflowing) segment of the high-growth crypto industry, without having to take the risk and ups/downs of direct token exposure. Team: Arthur, me and Adam Schlegel (led SaaS buyouts at Haveli Investments - largest debut PE fund ever @ $4.5B linkedin.com/in/adam-schleg…) +3 TradFi but crypto-savvy PE-trained junior hires to come. LFG, more TBA in the coming months. 🔥 This communication is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.

Reflecting on 10 years on the crypto rollercoaster: check out my my talk from @token2049 in Singapore. And if you are too lazy to see the talk, here are some of the key things I've learned over the years: * Think long term and from first principles. So many narratives come and go quickly. * Understand both the bugs and the *features* of the system you are trying to disrupt. * Startups are a rollercoaster but in crypto, the amplitude is even bigger. It can be gut-wrenching, but also a lot of room for fun and fast learning. That's why one of Dune's company values is...... embrace the rollercoaster! 📷 Video link in comment 👇
