Arrington Capital, a digital asset management firm in blockchain-based capital markets, has launched a new $100 million fund to support initiatives building on Algorand, a blockchain accelerating the convergence of decentralised and traditional finance.
The Arrington Algo Growth Fund (AAGF) aims to encourage and spur additional development on Algorand, which has seen significant growth and adoption recently across DeFi (decentralised finance), traditional finance, the public sector, NFT space and more.
AAGF will invest in Algorand-focused projects, including liquid and illiquid coins, to empower projects that are creating new financial applications in the Algorand ecosystem. Algorand, the brainchild of Turing Award winner Silvio Micali, was designed from the ground up for modern financial applications and provides the security, decentralization, scalability and efficiency needed to support billions of users — all on a carbon-negative blockchain.
