Circle Is Raising a $100 Million Fund for Its Crowdfunding Arm
Circle is hiring a new general partner to set up a $100 million venture capital fund via SeedInvest.

Circle is hiring a new general partner to raise a $100 million venture capital fund.
The fund will take advantage of the deal flow coming through SeedInvest, the equity crowdfunding startup that Circle acquired in March 2019.
The listing on LinkedIn says: "The Partner will be expected to develop and drive an investment thesis designed to leverage SeedInvest's sizable deal flow and its unique network of 250,000 investors to maximize returns."
SeedInvest emphasizes itself a registry of potential startup investments that have been thoroughly vetted by the firm before they are shown to users.
The posting says Circle is seeking someone with principal or partner-level experience at an established venture firm and strong connections throughout the funder community.
At the time of the SeedInvest acquisition, Circle noted that the startup opened an opportunity to tokenize equity in new companies. In a joint blog post at the time, the cofounders wrote:
"We believe that the tokenization of financial assets will ultimately unlock capital for growing companies and investment opportunities for people everywhere."
Circle did not provide additional comments after multiple requests. SeedInvest did not reply to a request for comment.

Solana CME Futures Fell Short of BTC and ETH Debuts, but There's a Catch

When adjusted for asset market capitalization SOL's relative futures volume looks better, K33 Research noted.
O que saber:
- Solana's SOL futures began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on Monday, with a notional daily volume of $12.3 million and $7.8 million in open interest, significantly lower than the debuts of bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) futures.
- Despite the seemingly lackluster debut, when adjusted to market value, SOL's first-day figures are more in line with BTC's and ETH's, according to K33 Research.
- Despite the bearish market conditions, the launch of CME SOL futures offers new ways for institutions to manage their exposure to the token, said Joshua Lim of FalconX.
