Pantera Capital Set to Launch $1 Billion “All-In-One” Fund, Pantera Fund V, in April 2025
Pantera Capital, a leading digital asset investment manager, is making waves in the cryptocurrency industry with the upcoming launch of their new “all-in-one” fund, Pantera Fund V. The firm is aiming to raise over $1 billion for this venture, which will provide investors with exposure to a diverse range of blockchain-based assets.
Scheduled for launch in April 2025, Pantera Fund V will require a minimum allocation of $1 million from qualified investors, while limited partners will need to contribute at least $25 million. This fund represents a shift in Pantera’s investment strategy, consolidating their focus into a single, comprehensive fund that will invest in startup equity, early-stage tokens, and liquid tokens.
If successful, the $1 billion raise for Pantera Fund V would be the largest in the cryptocurrency industry since May 2022, signaling a potential resurgence of institutional capital in the sector. This news comes amidst reports of other firms, such as Paradigm, also negotiating significant raises for new cryptocurrency funds.
Pantera Capital currently manages $5.2 billion in assets across their existing funds and has recently made a strategic investment in the GameFi platform InfiniGods. The cryptocurrency industry has seen a substantial increase in fundraising activity in 2024, with over $3.5 billion raised across 604 funding rounds so far. This trend suggests that total funding for the year is on track to surpass the $9.3 billion raised in 2023.
Despite this positive momentum, venture capital funding in the cryptocurrency sector still lags behind the highs of previous years. However, with the launch of Pantera Fund V and other significant fundraising efforts in the industry, there is optimism for continued growth and investment in blockchain-based assets.
