Theta Capital通过其最新基金会收盘筹集了1.75亿美元，以支持加密特权风险投资公司

Theta Capital Management已获得超过1.75亿美元的资金，旨在帮助机构投资者接触早期区块链初创公司

In a move to support emerging blockchain technology, Dutch investment firm Theta Capital has completed a $175 million fundraising round for its latest fund-of-funds, aiming to connect institutional investors with early-stage crypto startups.

为了支持新兴的区块链技术，荷兰投资公司Theta Capital已为其最新基金的资金完成了1.75亿美元的筹款回合，旨在将机构投资者与早期的加密货币初创公司联系起来。

Through its new fund, dubbed Theta Blockchain Ventures IV, the firm will be investing in venture capital firms that are specialized in crypto, according to a report by Bloomberg, citing managing partner and chief investment officer Ruud Smets.

根据彭博社的一份报告，该公司通过其新基金（被称为Theta区块链风险投资IV）投资于专门从事加密货币的风险投资公司。

Founded in 2001, the Netherlands-based firm began focusing on cryptocurrencies in 2018 and now manages around $1.2 billion in assets.

该公司成立于2001年，在2018年开始专注于加密货币，现在管理约12亿美元的资产。

Previously, Theta Capital has backed firms like Coinfund, Polychain Capital, and Castle Island Ventures. However, details on how Theta plans to allocate the newly raised capital are yet to be disclosed.

此前，Theta Capital曾支持Coinfund，Polychain Capital和Castle Island Ventures等公司。但是，有关Theta计划如何分配新筹集的资本的详细信息尚未披露。

The firm’s latest fund comes amid signs of recovery in crypto venture capital activity. According to a recent report by PitchBook, VC deal value in Q1 2024 rose to $6 billion, more than double the $2.6 billion seen a year ago. However, the number of deals fell to 405 from 670 over the same period.

该公司的最新基金出现在加密风险投资活动中恢复的迹象。根据PitchBook最近的一份报告，VC交易价值2024年的交易价值增至60亿美元，是一年前26亿美元的两倍以上。但是，从同一时期的670人降至405。

PitchBook’s senior crypto analyst Robert Le said the $1.4 billion Bybit theft, which he described as the first and only “10-digit hack in history,” served as a stark reminder of the operational risks still present in the industry.

PitchBook的高级加密分析师罗伯特·勒（Robert Le）表示，他将14亿美元的bybit盗窃案描述为第一个也是唯一的“历史上的10位黑客黑客攻击”，这使人们对行业中仍然存在的运营风险提醒。

He suggested the incident could drive greater institutional demand for real-time proof-of-reserve tools, improved custody systems, and middleware that simplifies key management. Startups working on these areas might also find a more favorable funding environment, even amid a broader reset in valuations, Le added.

他建议这一事件可以推动对实时保留工具，改进的监护系统以及简化关键管理的中间件的更大机构需求。 Le补充说，从事这些领域的初创公司也可能会发现更有利的资金环境，甚至在估值中更广泛的重置中。

Despite Bitcoin hitting a record high of $100,000 in Q4 2024, venture capital activity in crypto startups remained flat, with VC deal size down nearly 90% since 2018.

尽管比特币在第4季度的2024年第四季度达到了创纪录的100,000美元，但Crypto初创公司的风险投资活动仍然持平，自2018年以来，VC交易规模下降了近90％。
