Investment firm Dragonfly has acquired MetaStable Capital, a San Francisco-based crypto hedge fund.
Dragonfly announced the move, along with a rebrand, in a Medium post on Monday. Previously, the firm has backed crypto enterprises such as Near Foundation, DAI-issuer MakerDAO and crypto exchange ByBit.
“Metastable is one of the longest-running funds in crypto history, co-founded in 2014 by Naval Ravikant,” said the post. “[It] was an early investor into Ethereum, Avalanche, Cosmos, Starkware, NEAR, Zcash, Filecoin, Dfinity, and Algorand.”
