The fund, which will be led by investment director Yen Shiau Sin, will offer accredited investors access to growth opportunities within the blockchain ecosystem, through a conventional equity capital investment strategy.

CMCC Global’s co-founder, Martin Baumann, emphasized that “Titan Fund will further our mission to accelerate innovation in blockchain technology and the digital asset ecosystem.”

The firm further disclosed that Titan Fund will be managed by its Hong Kong-based subsidiary, Fintech Investment Group Limited, as the latest addition to its portfolio. The fund complements its Digital Asset Funds, which has directly invested in protocols and virtual assets since 2016.

Titan Fund achieved a total fundraising of $100 million in its first close, with investments from blockchain investors such as Winklevoss Capital, Block.one (B1), Hong Kong-based Jesben Capital, and others.

Co-founder of Gemini Cameron Winklevoss emphasized that "The Titan Fund will empower great entrepreneurs to build the next wave of Web3 and blockchain-powered fintech applications. The last five years have seen a set of new unicorn companies emerge, the next five to ten years will see this trend continue to accelerate as mainstream adoption of blockchain technology proliferates."
