Thrilled to announced FVIV!
We may be investing in new areas but our style remains the same: back a small number generational companies as early as possible and do whatever it takes to maximize likelihood of success.
To the founders we already partner with: thank you, none of this matters without you. To our LPs and our team: thank you for trusting how we do this. And if you're early and building something ambitious, my DMs are open.
1/ Today in @FortuneMagazine:
Framework Ventures has raised $400 Million for our 4th fund, FVIV.
We believe the future is being built at the intersection of blockchain, AI, robotics, energy, and fintech.

Is the "circular DeFi" era ending?
@parkeraedwards & @jacqmelinek discuss how USDS's 80% supply growth points to a possible structural shift: institutional assets, not crypto-native loops, driving yield.
Thanks @parkeraedwards for spelling it out. The U.S. energy buildout is the largest infrastructure opportunity of the decade, and onchain capital is the funding layer. Proud to be in the first @obexincubator cohort backed by @SkyEcosystem
Obex Cohort 1, broken down by @parkeraedwards from @hiframework at DAS New York.
$1B deploying across 8 companies, from publicly traded firms to early-stage operators, spanning energy, fintech, AI infrastructure, lending, and crypto capital markets.
Why are @Securitize and @centrifuge joining the 1st Obex cohort?
Because the biggest asset managers in the world are looking for partners to come onchain.
$1B+ already deployed through Sky into products like BUIDL and JAAA. @parkeraedwards explains:
💳Fintech.
⚡️Energy infrastructure.
📊Structured credit markets.
🤖AI.
🏡Real estate.
@parkeraedwards and @jacqmelinek take the mainstage at the DAS NYC to break down why Obex chose these sectors for its first $1 billion deployment 👇
Featured in our monthly stablecoin update:
@parkeraedwards, partner at @hiFramework, shares that the shift of stablecoin adoption is predominately institutional
"If you look globally, the adoption of stablecoins is nothing new. In emerging countries, products are denominated in USDT, showcasing its use case for retail purposes. The shift is that now, institutional level players are now participating, in large part from 10/10,” which saw $19.1B in crypto liquidations
At DAS NYC, @parkeraedwards takes the main stage with @jacqmelinek to announce Obex Cohort 1 is underway.
$1 Billion to be deployed. 8 companies and protocols joining Sky.
All aligned with USDS👇
