What is BlockBooster’s $50 million fund trying to build?
The fund will invest in growth-stage projects across its four focus areas. BlockBooster says it will back companies building core infrastructure for the digital economy, especially those with potential for institutional use.
This includes platforms working on AI systems, blockchain trading tools, and tokenized real-world assets. The focus is on projects that can scale and serve both institutions and wider users.
How does BlockBooster use its venture studio model?
BlockBooster was founded in 2023 and is backed by investors including OKX Ventures. Before launching the fund, it operated as a venture studio, helping build blockchain projects from early stages.
The company says this hands-on approach will continue. It works closely with teams on product design, hiring, and go-to-market plans. It also helps shape early product decisions, not just provide funding.
BlockBooster says this gives it access to early-stage deals that traditional funds may not reach.
Can BlockBooster become a full alternative asset manager?
BlockBooster’s strategy has two parts. One part focuses on building and incubating projects. The second part manages capital through funds like Fund I. The company says it plans to expand into other areas over time, including private equity, buyouts, and private credit. It believes this structure will help it grow beyond venture investing and become a broader asset manager in digital finance.
In another development, OpenEden, a leading platform for tokenizing real-world assets closed a strategic investment round with participation from Ripple, Lightspeed Faction, Gate Ventures, FalconX, Anchorage Digital Ventures, Flowdesk, P2 Ventures, Selini Capital, Kaia Foundation, and Sigma Capital.
