Pantera Fund V is a new investment that will concentrate on purchasing various digital assets that make use of blockchain technology. The planned launch date is April 2025.
Pantera Capital, which oversees investments in digital assets, is seeking to raise more than $1 billion for a new fund. Investors will be able to buy a broad range of blockchain-based assets with this fund.
The expected launch date of Pantera Fund V is April 2025. This fund will be Pantera Capital’s primary offering, which combines many investments. Yet their current funds concentrate on specific investment categories like enterprises, tokens, and Bitcoin.
Investors must contribute at least $1 million to the fund to take part; the fund will open for investing on April 1, 2025. As stated by Bloomberg on April 25, anyone wishing to take part in the fund as a limited partner must provide at least $25 million.
According to Pantera’s website, the Pantera Fund V will consist of a variety of assets. This includes liquid tokens, startup equity, and early-stage tokens.
Pantera Capital manages a total of $5.2 billion among its four current funds.
The largest financing in the cryptocurrency sector since May 2022 would occur if Pantera Capital can raise $1 billion. At the time, a venture capital firm raised a record $4.5 billion by the name of Andreessen Horowitz.
Talks are underway to raise approximately $4850 million for a new cryptocurrency fund at Paradigm, another VC firm. In light of the market’s 2023 rebound, this and Pantera’s campaigns for funding reflect that major investors are once again showing interest in cryptocurrency.
Cointelegraph had contacted Pantera to get a response before the publication of their article. But have not received a response.
Pantera Fund V: Future of Crypto Investing
The VC firm Andreessen Horowitz said last week that it had raised $7.2 billion. Artificial intelligence (AI) and GameFi are two of the many technology-focused industries that will enjoy this investment. On the flip side, the $4.5 billion crypto fund didn’t raise any extra funding.
As stated by the Company on April 25, Pantera has led its $8 million Series A round, expressing its strong support for the GameFi platform InfiniGods.
The crypto industry has raised about $3.5 billion in 604 fundraising rounds in 2024. RootData predicted that if this trend persists, financing for 2023 will likely be more than the $9.3 billion raised for that year.
Even with the recent increase in venture capital funding in the crypto world, it is still far below the 2021 and 2022 highs. There were increases of $31.2 billion and $29.3 billion in those years.
