2 VCs and 4 funds investing in Tokenized Assets
Head of research, Investment Associate
The Spartan Group
Check: No personal check-size or allocation authority is published. Spartan Capital manages liquid, DeFi, gaming/metaverse, and market-neutral funds; the firm's $500M stated AUM and portfolio activity are not a personal check range for José.
José researches and evaluates liquid and protocol opportunities for Spartan Capital. His work focuses on crypto becoming financial infrastructure: stablecoin adoption, yield markets, institutional use of public DeFi, tokenized equities and commodities, high-performance onchain exchanges, intents, and autonomous-agent payments. He pairs narrative inflection points with measurable supply, transfer volume, fees, TVL, open interest, protocol revenue, and live institutional usage.
Partner
Pantera Capital
Check: No person-specific venture check size is publicly disclosed. Pantera's venture strategy typically invests Seed through Series B, but Paul's public work is primarily macro and digital-asset allocation rather than individual startup ticket guidance.
Paul's published case for digital assets starts with monetary adoption: a cryptoasset becomes money only if a critical mass accepts it, but the possibility of that scale can justify a suitable asymmetric allocation and a hedge against loss of fiat purchasing power. His background connects crypto underwriting to monetary regimes, volatility, derivatives and portfolio construction.
