Ego Death Capital raises $100 million for Bitcoin startups, while Robinhood face scrutiny over its equity token offerings.
Crypto and blockchain venture capital came roaring back in the second quarter, with startups raising a combined $10 billion during the period.
For venture capital firm Ego Death Capital, however, it’s Bitcoin (BTC) — not broader crypto — that will drive the future of secure decentralized finance. Earlier this week, the firm announced a new $100 million fund dedicated to investing in early-stage Bitcoin companies.
Meanwhile, Robinhood is doubling down on its tokenization push, even as European regulators scrutinize its so-called “private equity” offerings. While Robinhood has long been active in digital assets, its deeper commitment to the space has helped propel its stock to all-time highs.
