9 VCs and 37 funds investing in Institutional Crypto
Founding Partner
Collider Ventures
Check: No personal or standard Collider check-size range is published. A disclosed $6.7M seed round was the total financing for one company and must not be treated as Avishay's personal or firm-wide check range.
Avishay is a founder-first, contrarian crypto investor who treats decentralized systems as political and economic networks, not just software. He looks for leaders who can align the four constituencies he identifies—technical purists, traders, builders, and storytellers—while building real utility and defensible businesses. His recent thesis has shifted toward institutional distribution, revenue, risk management, token value accrual, and infrastructure that incumbents need but cannot readily build themselves.
Research Partner
Greenfield Capital
Check: No personal check-size range is published. Greenfield's venture mandate spans pre-seed through later stages; financing amounts in Felix's investment essays are company-round totals, not personal limits.
Felix uses research and market data to identify durable crypto infrastructure and distinguish fundamental adoption from speculation. His work favors protocols with measurable usage, revenue or value accrual; secure programmable ownership; credible governance; and infrastructure that connects decentralized finance with institutional and real-world assets.
Partner and Chief Operating Officer
Greenfield Capital
Check: No personal check-size range is published. Greenfield invests across pre-seed through later stages, while Christian's stated responsibility is implementing investment decisions rather than owning a public personal allocation range.
Christian applies transaction, regulatory, and policy expertise to executing Greenfield's crypto investments. His work argues for clear decentralization standards, practical token tax treatment, open institutional access to digital assets, and privacy-preserving crypto infrastructure that reconciles public networks with legitimate personal and institutional confidentiality.
Sr. Investment Research Associate
HashKey Capital
Check: No reliable personal check range or individual signing authority is public. Jin Ming Neo is a research associate, so founders should treat HashKey Capital's fund strategy—not a directory estimate—as the relevant context and confirm stage, allocation, lead role, ownership, token/equity structure, and decision process with the investment team.
Jin Ming Neo contributes to broad, research-led sector evaluation across Web3. HashKey's coauthored 1H 2024 analysis favors teams with defined technical advantages, credible go-to-market, or proven execution; AI and DePIN infrastructure with real demand; sustainable Bitcoin utility; institution-grade trading, staking, lending, stablecoin, and derivatives infrastructure; and products that solve ecosystem maturity, adoption, liquidity, or user-experience constraints.
Director of Investor Relations
Blockchain Capital
Check: Not applicable to Kyle's investor-relations role. No personal startup check size or investment authority is public. Founders should approach a listed Blockchain Capital investor; fund investors should use the firm's IR channel or secure investor portal.
Kyle builds the infrastructure and communication layer through which Blockchain Capital serves and raises from global fund investors. Her remit spans IR systems, workflows, LP communications and coordination between investment and finance teams. The resulting lens favors scalable institutional processes and a coherent investor experience; it is not a personal crypto investment thesis.
Co-founder
Wintermute Ventures
Check: Wintermute Ventures currently publishes flexible $500K–$5M+ global investments, primarily Seed and Series A, using proprietary capital and often leading or co-leading. This is a firm range—not Yoann's personal promise—and the firm also makes selective later-stage investments.
Yoann brings high-frequency trading, hedge-fund and family-office experience to a proprietary-capital venture platform built around Wintermute's market infrastructure. The firm backs category-defining financial and enterprise technologies across the crypto value chain where its trading, liquidity, governance, integration and treasury expertise can materially accelerate long-term adoption.
