Pantera Capital, a crypto venture capital company, has committed $300 million into a group of companies that manage cryptocurrencies.
The company stated that it expects these businesses to outperform crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) when it comes to long-term gains.
According to statements from Cosmo Jiang and Erik Lowe of Pantera, these firms, called digital asset treasuries (DATs), regularly put their crypto holdings to work.
