Blockchain Founders Fund retweeted
Proud of this one, and the founders who made it happen. 🏆
Blockchain Founders Fund has been named Best Early-Stage Blockchain Venture Capital Fund 2026 at Corporate Vision Magazine’s Corporate Excellence Awards.
We back founders at the very start, when it’s just a prototype and a conviction, and stay through the hard years. This year, a lot of that work paid off at once: @RTB_io listed on Nasdaq (NASDAQ: RTB), @BackedFi was acquired by @krakenfx, and @getTransFi crossed eight figures in revenue.
Kudos to the @BlockchainFF team who shows up for them every day, Mansoor, @niravbakshi1, @AhanRajgor, Ernest and Hossam Hamdy!
Nearly 200 companies in, and the best work is still ahead.
Here's to what's next. 🙏

Many run them on private or hybrid infrastructure, taking the automation and leaving the ideology. The technology only needs to save them money.

TOKEN2049 Singapore was all about what's working today.
Who's actually using the infrastructure? How is AI changing the way companies build and operate? Where is the revenue coming from?
@AhanRajgor and @niravbakshi1 spent the week in Singapore. Five shifts stood out.
🧵
5. Tokenized assets are landing on more than one chain.
OKX and ICE filed to trade 63 tokenized NYSE stocks via permissioned Uniswap v4 pools on X Layer. Nasdaq’s pilot settles through DTC.
Venues are picking chains on cost, settlement and counterparties.
6. As always, great conversations with @theaadedewe , @NirupRam , @zane_suren and Maks Baranov.
Met Ahan or Nirav in Singapore, or building in stablecoin infra, agent payments or tokenization? We’d like to keep the conversation going.
