Multicoin：HYPE as the largest holding in its hedge fund and will not shift to pure AI projects
PANews October 20 reported, citing Bloomberg, that it manages approximately 2700000000 USD of Multicoin Capital General Partner and Co-Head of Venture Capital Spencer Applebaum stated that the Hyperliquid token HYPE is the largest holding in its hedge fund, with the related tokens all purchased on the open market. He said Multicoin will not follow peers such as Paradigm in expanding its investment scope into pure AI and robotics, and will remain focused on crypto assets, adding that many investors are “forcing” a connection between crypto and AI. In addition, Multicoin's 2022 venture capital fund raised in 422000000 USD has deployed capital at a slower pace due to declining startup valuations following the collapse.
