Framework Ventures co-founder Michael Anderson told Decrypt's Dan Roberts and Jason Nelson in our Decrypting Mainnet booth at Messari Mainnet 2022 why Framework is so bullish on blockchain gaming, NFTs in games, and how that's positioned to be the category that brings crypto to mainstream consumers.
The crypto market may be in its tenth month of the downtrend, but for Michael Anderson, the co-founder of Framework Ventures, this time represents possibly the best opportunity to invest in new startups and projects.
Framework Ventures entered the scene in 2019 amid the previous bear market, and such conditions, according to Anderson, “is the best time to be building.”
“The best entrepreneurs in the space are coming right now,” Anderson told Decrypt at last week’s Mainnet conference. “We were lucky to have launched our last fund, we are investing very actively right now, and we are very excited about everything we see.”
In April, Framework Ventures secured $400 million for its third fund, FVIII, with half of that amount earmarked to investments in blockchain-based gaming, which, as the firm said at the time, will be “one of the largest forms of employment in the world.”
Framework Ventures has secured $400 million for a third fund, with half of that dedicated to investments in blockchain gaming. The fund, FVIII, is earmarking up to $200 million for blockchain gaming, which, the firm said today in a statement, will be “one of the largest forms of employment in the world.” San Francisco-based two-man band Framework now manages around $1.4 billion in assets. Led by Michael Anderson and Vance Spencer, the venture capital firm is heavily focused on DeFi—and strongly...
Six months later, Anderson still believes this is the case.
“Gaming, in our minds, is the category that is going to bring a hundred million people into Web3. They are going to have wallets, they are going to have Web3 addresses, and that’s the consumer adoption that we have been waiting for,” he said.
Speaking about what role non-fungible tokens (NFTs) may play in the future of blockchain gaming, Anderson said there are two aspects that have to be taken into account.
The first is that NFTs have been largely built on Ethereum’s Proof-of-Work (PoW) chain, and the situation has changed after the network’s transition to Proof-of-Stake (PoS).
Point number two, per Anderson, is that the business model of gaming has been largely trending towards a defund state, specifically when it comes to advertising. Game developers are now looking at blockchain and the monetization opportunities the new technology brings.
“They are saying that this is a new interesting platform to build on–potentially even the only platform to build on,” said Anderson.
Immunefi, a popular bug bounty system for smart contracts and decentralized finance (DeFi) projects, announced it has raised a $24 million Series A funding round led by Framework Ventures. Other participants in the round include Electric Capital, Polygon Ventures, Samsung Next, P2P Capital, North Island Ventures, Third Prime Ventures, Lattice Capital, and Stratos DeFi, Immuefi said in a press release shared with Decrypt. Immunefi is a platform offering bounty programs for ethical hackers—also kn...
Last week, Framework Ventures also led a $24 million Series A funding round for Immunefi, a bug bounty system for smart contracts and decentralized finance (DeFi) projects.
According to Anderson, Immunefi boasts a team of “world-class security specialists,” and security is one of the most important components of Web3.
“I think we can look at Immunefi in five or seven-year and think of it as one of the largest security providers in Web3,” he said.
Formula 1 has renewed its partnership with exchange platform Crypto.com, extending the agreement through 2030 as both entities seek to capitalize on their shared momentum. The renewed partnership will see Crypto.com continue to feature prominently at key Formula 1 events, including the Miami Grand Prix, where it has been the title sponsor since the race’s inception in 2022. The deal, first inked in 2021, marked Formula 1’s foray into the crypto world at a time when digital assets were experienc...
Mo Shaikh, a co-creator of the Aptos blockchain and co-founder and CEO of the Aptos Labs firm that helps support it, announced Thursday that he's leaving the company to focus on a "new chapter." "Today, I am stepping away from Aptos Labs to start a new chapter," Shaikh wrote on X. "One of my true passions lies in building companies from the ground up, and we have done that at Aptos Labs by building a world-class team." "I leave Aptos Labs with the utmost confidence in the team," he continued, "a...
Building on the momentum of anticipated changes to U.S. crypto policy, Binance.US said it aims to restore its USD services in early 2025, according to a statement shared with Decrypt. It marks the exchange's first major operational shift as regulatory pressure forced the exchange to suspend fiat trading last year. The platform has operated under restricted banking access since June 2023, when SEC civil claims triggered a suspension of dollar deposits and withdrawals. "While I can't provide a de...
