The venture firm Pantera Capital wants to raise $1 billion for a new crypto fund, a source with direct knowledge of the matter told The Block. Pantera Fund V, as its called, would focus on startup equity, early-stage tokens and liquid tokens among others assets, the source said. Bloomberg was first to report the news. Pantera had previously sought to raise $1.25 billion for a second blockchain fund in September 2022. The source added that the $1.25 billion fund and the $1 billion Pantera Fund V are separate. Pantera's Liquid Token Fund brought 66% in gains over the first quarter of 2024, The Block reported earlier.
