Gumi Cryptos Reveals $110 Million Fund Targeting Early-Stage Blockchain Startups

On March 30, Gumi Cryptos Capital (GCC), announced the blockchain-focused venture capital firm’s second fund that will invest $110 million in early-stage blockchain startups. The second fund follows GCC’s initial $21 million fund that backed seed stage founders.


Gumi Cryptos Capital Reveals Fund II — Firm Will Invest $110 Million Into early-Stage Blockchain Startups





The blockchain-focused venture capital firm Gumi Cryptos Capital (GCC) has announced the launch of a $100 million fund that will be focused on blockchain concepts like decentralized finance (defi), game finance (gamefi), Web3, and other types of ideas being created by early-stage blockchain startups. In a statement sent to MotleyBloggers.com News, GCC’s managing partner Rui Zhang said: “Think of us as blockchain’s experienced, high-conviction, high trust, hands-on value adding, long time preference, unicorn to megacorn, builder-focused all-in venture society.”




GCC’s announcement further details that Fund II will target software engineers, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), guilds, and more “at any layer at the earliest stage and is chain-agnostic.” “Fund II will invest in both equity and tokens,” the announcement explains. “GCC expects to invest between $500,000 to $5 million per project through both initial and follow-on investments.”





Venture Capital Continues to Bolster Blockchain Funds, GCC Managing Partner Says ‘There’s a Strong Appetite for Experimentation’





GCC’s Fund II follows a slew of venture capital funds announced during the last year. Cypher Capital, a United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based venture capital (VC) firm just announced a $100 million fund focused on metaverse, defi, and gamefi concepts. The crypto exchange Luno announced that the firm’s investment arm, Luno Expeditions, launched a fund dedicated to fintech startups. Venture capital firm Griffin Gaming Partners (GGP) announced a $750 million fund to support gaming concepts that involve blockchain and Web3 ideas.




According to GCC, the companies in the firm’s portfolio have raised more than $1 billion since January 2020. The company’s managing partners include Hironao Kunimitsu, Miko Matsumura, and Rui Zhang. “We live in the Experimental Age,” Matsumura explains in a statement sent to MotleyBloggers.com News. “The existing institutions and infrastructure including social infrastructure, governance, financial services and big tech are demonstrably failing us. Because the way forward is unknown, there’s a strong appetite for experimentation.” Matsumura added:


Tokens represent monetary experimentation powering Web3, DAOs and guilds are governance experiments. Avatars represent “personality experiments” whether backed by individuals, bots or groups. NFTs are experimental digital assets. The metaverse is a collection of experimental realities.

https://motleybloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/a-jacobin-podcast-review-critiques-on-crypto-and-sterlins-response.jpg The following opinion editorial is a Jacobin Podcast review written by the author Sterlin Lujan , the chief risk officer with Cryptospace. The Jacobin Podcast episode called: “ Dig: Cryptocurrency w/ Edward Ongweso Jr & Jacob Silverman, ” touches upon “cryptocurrency, NFTs, Elon Musk, the metaverse, meme stocks, and techno-utopianism amid the crushing reality of our neoliberal hellscape.” Cryptocurrency isn’t fringe technology anymore. Over the last decade, it has become embedded into finance, culture, and even our social life. It’s drastically changing the way we think about money, economics, and human action. However, some people, primarily on the left, are skeptical of cryptocurrency. Many of them hate it, regardless of how much of a godsend it has been for many. My friend, thought leader, author, and psychedelic visionary, Daniel Pinchbeck, pointed out a

Nevertheless, the new regulations seem to have succeeded in boosting crypto trade volumes on informal markets or on peer-to-peer trading platforms. Nigerian Crypto Traders Get Creative Still, the increasing trades on informal platforms have also led to increased reports of users losing money to con artists. Moreover, with the CBN seemingly eager to see volumes of crypto trades plummet, Nigerian users had to find ingenious but legal ways of getting around the central bank’s imposed restrictions.

According to the report, this application is already enabling Nigerian users to buy or sell their crypto assets securely and without running afoul of CBN regulations. Therefore, in this report, we relis
