Basics

  • Strong presence in China / Asia

Investments

  • Raised $650 million for its third fund (27-4-2022).
  • Launched a new $225 million fund to invest in DeFi, NFT, and more projects (27-3-2021).
  • Portfolio consists (as of 2-12-2019) of the following:

Amber, Anchorage, Celo, Coda, Coin Metrics, CoinFLEX, Compound, Cosmos, Crusoe, dY/dX, ErisX, Lumina, MobileCoin, Nuo, Oasis Labs, RenrenBit, Sia, Spacemesh, Tagomi and Uma

"Venture funds Dragonfly Capital and Paradigm have acquired $27.5 million worth of MKR tokens and plan to take part in the Maker Protocol's governance system. Announced Thursday by the Maker Foundation, the $27.5 million raised will fund the foundation's efforts to promote dai adoption in China and the broader Asia region. It's expected Dragonfly and Paradigm, who already have a strong presence in the region, will advise on the expansion. The joint purchase means Dragonfly and Paradigm now control approximately 5.5 percent of the total MKR token supply. Combined, the acquisition makes Dragonfly and Paradigm the second-largest private holder of MKR tokens. VC firm Andreessen Horowitz remains the single largest private holder with the 6 percent stake it acquired in September 2018."
