    Pantera Capital is an American hedge fund and venture capital firm focused on digital assets headquartered in Menlo Park, California.[1][2] The fund specializes in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.[3][4] It is one of the largest digital asset funds in the world by managed assets.[5]

    History

    [edit]

    The firm was founded in San Francisco, California in 2003 by Dan Morehead, before opening offices on Silicon Valley's Sand Hill Road.[6] The fund was initially focused on global macro before moving into digital assets with Joey Krug, the founder of the first major Ethereum project, Augur.[7][8] Morehead previously led global macro trading at Tiger Management and is seen as one of the fund's "tiger cubs".[9]

    The company invested money in the fraudulent cryptocurrency firm FTX and was hit hard by its collapse in November 2022.[10]

    Funding

    [edit]

    In 2013, Pantera launched the first investment fund focused on Bitcoin in the United States.[2][3] The fund opened an office in New York during the early 2000s and established operations in Puerto Rico in 2021.[11][12]

    Pantera launched its second blockchain fund in 2022, seeking to raise $1.25 billion. The company’s first blockchain fund was launched in June 2021.[13]

    The company launched its third venture fund in 2018 and raised $100 million.[14]
