Electric Capital raises $1 billion for the establishment of two new cryptocurrency funds
Electric Capital, a crypto-focused venture capital firm, has secured $400 million for its third early stage fund and $600 million for a digital token fund.
Why is this significant: Raising massive pools of funds to invest in crypto is becoming more common as the industry continues to grow — despite regulatory uncertainties and persistent concerns about frauds.
Among the lines: Electric's pair of funds highlights an emerging fact in crypto investing: once their token networks are established, many firms and projects may never receive traditional venture financing beyond the early stages.
- At that moment, acquiring tokens may be the only method for an early investor to continue investing—and to continue purchasing the company's most valuable assets.
- "There are seed and Series A firms that have not progressed up the S-curve," Electric Capital managing partner Avichal Garg explains, referring to the premise that startups can experience inflection points that result in rapid growth prior reaching maturity.
- "Therefore, if you can locate high-quality investments, you should hold them because they have not risen up the S-curve."
- Additionally, Sequoia Capital recently announced the launch of a token-focused fund.
