1) Today, I'm proud to announce the launch of Breed Fund I, a $20M crypto venture fund devoted to advancing the decentralized world. https://t.co/RLv3L7jI7H
Leveraged trading on Polymarket has been in demand for some time and has been tough nut to crack. The cracked team at a16z backed @t1protocol. Figured it out.
We’ve raised $8.1M to accelerate our mission of building a global network for modern financial institutions.
These rounds were led by @galaxyhq, @almadaventures, and @hiFramework Ventures, alongside leading crypto investors.

3/3 Huge congrats to the @jackchong_jc and the @checkercorp team. With strong early traction, credible institutional validation, and a workflow-native product, Checker is well-positioned to become the core liquidity layer for stablecoin-powered global finance. Onwards!
People complain that crypto alpha is dead because the easy arbitrage is gone. The truth is it just moved to the edges where lazy capital cannot reach it.
Great time chatting about real alpha at #InnovateMiami with @AmirOnchain, @monarq_mgmt, @JaimeLeverton, and @Raacfi. Massive thanks to @Joshua_Frank_ /@TheTieIO for putting together a killer room.
3Jane began as a credit-based money market extending lines of credit to cryptonatives.
Today we're evolving into programmable credit facilities via warehouse loans & forward-flows to power the next generation of fintech originators across a $100B opportunity.

Launching a token in the current market environment is an absolute gauntlet. The team at @USDai_Official just delivered a masterclass.
While the broader market was bracing for a muted launch, they defied gravity by securing Day 1 simultaneous listings across Robinhood, Binance, Coinbase, Upbit, OKX, Bybit and many more. Simply unheard of.
This proves that Tier 1 execution and a massive lending pipeline dictate value, regardless of market sentiment.
We at @breed_vc are incredibly proud to have been early seed investors. The real work starts now.
Every major fintech company, neobank, and exchange has begun to support crypto or has already done so.
The harder question every product team is now facing is: What now?
When we launched our 1st fund it was a similar time as now.
FTX just declared bankruptcy, prices were horrendously down, and everyone thought our industry was dead.
The founders with the most grit and conviction were forged and we are proud to back them, a just a few from those days.
@gdog97_ from @ethena@keoneHD from @monad@Teknium from @NousResearch@Nick_van_Eck from @withAUSD@ZachBruch from @myprizeus@joshua_j_lim from @Arbelosxyz@alexocheema from @exolabs@santiagoroel from @inversion_cap
and so many more from our portfolio.
We currently have more dry powder than we've ever had and we're excited to partner with founders that are here building now while its hard.
@breed_vc is ready for the next wave.
Liquid Banking is live.

Enjoyed discussing Crypto x AI at the FO256 conference, hosted by @arca. Great sharing the stage with @jbrukh (@coinfund_io) and @lalleclausen (@1kxnetwork) to give family offices a clear framework on how to approach this space. Thanks to @DavidNage and the Arca team for putting together a top-tier room.
That feeling when a builder creates magic using an all-@breed_vc portco stack.
@NousResearch's Hermes Agent meets @exolabs distributed supercomputer.
The decentralized AI stack has officially arrived.
