Insights
Here we share selected insights, exploring important topics in the blockchain ecosystem.
Uqbar and the Urbit Ecosystem
One of the most interesting and unique crypto-adjacent projects right now is Urbit. The project has a devout group of supporters that is unlike anything we have seen since the early days of Ethereum. Urbit is not itself a blockchain venture and the project pre-dates Bitcoin.
Informal Systems (Titan Fund Investment)
It was recently announced that CMCC Global, through our Titan Fund, was the lead investor in the oversubscribed first round of fundraising for Informal Systems. This was an extremely competitive deal, and we were thrilled to invest alongside other notable VCs and prominent crypto projects.
Anoma and Intent Centric Design
Anoma is taking a radical new approach to how blockchains function. Today, users submit transactions to platforms like Ethereum. These transactions must be specific, defining the exact parameters of the transaction.
The New and Renewed Bitcoin Narrative
Bitcoin has had a phenomenal start to 2023, with the asset up over 70% year-to-date. It is outperforming the rest of the crypto market and is benefiting from both an old and new narrative.
