Dragonfly also rebrands

MetaStable, founded in 2014 and backed by a16z and Sequoia, is one of crypto’s longest-running hedge funds, with some of its major investments being in Ethereum, Cosmos, Avalanche, Filecoin and Algorandas.

The acquisition has made Dragonfly “more expansive than it’s ever been,” the company’s managing partner Haseeb Qureshi wrote in a medium post.

Noting that it was “time for a refresh” for the venture platform, Qureshi added that Dragonfly had decided to adopt a more crypto-native look by rebranding from “„Dragonfly“ sostinė” to just Dragonfly.

"Our aesthetic is less Patagonia, more ASCII; less stock photo, more glitch art“, - pažymėjo jis.

Dragonfly was founded in 2018 and currently counts Avalanche, Near Protocol, MakerDAO and Matter Labs among platforms in its investment portfolio.In July, the firm led a $3.5 million seed funding round for DebtDAO, a decentralised finance (DeFi) credit solution also backed by Numeus ir Daedulus. Earlier this month, the Lido DAO community voted to allow a 10 million LDO token sale to Dragonfly as the platform looked to navigate the ongoing crypto winter.
