Early-stage crypto founders often go beyond building products, setting the rules for entirely new ecosystems of social and financial incentives. Over our 12 years of investing in these visionaries, we’ve learned to look for the key qualities that define what it means to be a true founder. Read more from BCAP Partner @yuan_han_li ↓

tokenize the world

Huge congratulations to @Securitize on announcing its plan to go public via SPAC with Cantor Fitzgerald at a $1.25B valuation. We're proud to be their first customer, Seed + Series A lead investor, and early believers in the tokenization of real-world assets. Excited to see the leader in tokenization enter its next chapter 👏

While this is certainly a huge step for tokenization, I want to highlight the way @Securitize has truly exemplified the pioneer ethos in this market. Leading their Seed and Series A rounds, we have had the pleasure of watching @Carlosdomingo scale this business steadily over the last six years, with unwavering determination and conviction. That conviction echoed through our own initiatives, as we partnered with Securitize to create the category of security tokens / RWAs with the launch of our tokenized venture fund in 2017. Long-term conviction yields results. Today, Securitize is set to become a public company at a $1.25B valuation through a merger with @official_Cantor via Cantor Equity Partners II SPAC, marking a defining moment for the future of financial markets. Securitize is built on first-principles thinking and enduring market leadership, and we’re honored to have been a part of the journey from the beginning. Congratulations to @carlosdomingo and the entire Securitize team. Special thanks to my brother and @blockchaincap co-founder @wbrads for his past and continuing board service.

When we first met @carlosdomingo in 2017, tokenizing real-world assets was just an idea. 🧵↓

I see @Polymarket as a radical epistemic framework where capital flows towards truth, profoundly reshaping how we determine what is real. This is one of the reasons we led Polymarket's $55M financing a few months before the election. More recently, @ICE_Markets, the parent company of @NYSE, invested $2B in Polymarket. Much has been written about Polymarket's primary mechanism. In this piece, I expand the discussion to second-order truths that demand our attention.
