CMT Digital’s $136M Cash Grab: Crypto’s Next Big Thing or Just Hot Air? 🚀

by

CMT Digital has somehow managed to convince people to hand over $136 million for Fund IV… Presumably, they promised to “re-architect global finance” while sipping cold brew in a Zoom room. Who doesn’t want that? ☕💸

Founded in 2017 (a time when “crypto” meant “I have no idea what I’m doing”), CMT Digital now boasts over $600 million in assets under management. Fund IV will back blockchain-native startups trying to make crypto less confusing for institutions and regulators. Good luck with that. 🤞 They’ve already made 10 investments, including Coinbase, Circle, and Falconx-companies that probably still can’t explain stablecoins to their moms. 🤷♂️

The firm’s thesis? A decade-long journey from “access” to “expanding utility” to “re-architecting finance.” Sounds like a LinkedIn headline written by a robot. 🤖 But hey, if you can’t explain it in a tweet, just call it a “re-architecture.”
