Pantera Capital

Pantera Capital is a pioneering U.S.-based institutional asset manager dedicated exclusively to blockchain technology and digital assets. Founded in 2013, it was the first firm in the U.S. to launch a cryptocurrency fund, starting when Bitcoin was priced at $65. Since then, Pantera has expanded its offerings to include multiple fund strategies that cover venture equity, early-stage tokens, and liquid tokens. This positions Pantera as a comprehensive investment platform for exposure across the blockchain ecosystem.

The firm’s primary features include three distinct fund strategies: Venture Equity, which invests in equity stakes of blockchain companies; Early-Stage Tokens, which targets private-stage token investments at discounted prices; and Liquid Tokens, which focuses on trading large, liquid digital assets by leveraging market inefficiencies. Pantera’s deep technical expertise and market insight allow it to lead approximately 75% of its blockchain fund deals and maintain a diverse portfolio with over 100 venture investments and 110 early-stage token investments.

What sets Pantera apart is its status as a first mover in the blockchain investment space and its broad spectrum of investment types, from equity to liquid tokens. Its global reach is notable, with nearly half of its invested capital outside the U.S., reflecting a diversified and international approach. Pantera’s funds provide institutional-grade exposure to blockchain innovation, making it a key partner for financial institutions and enterprise teams seeking to engage with decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain ventures.
