28/06/2021 CoinFund set to launch new investment vehicle for NFTs
CoinFund is doubling down on the non-fungible token (NFT) market with a new investment vehicle, head of portfolio growth Vanessa Grellet revealed on the most recent episode of The Scoop.
Dubbed Metaversal, the new vehicle will serve as both a way for investors to bet on the overall market and as a development studio for NFT companies.
CoinFund has been one of the NFT market's most prominent bulls to date. Now it's launching Metaversal despite the recent slump in usage across platforms for trading blockchain-based collectibles NFT-based art and other assets.
Grellet said despite the slump there's still "so much demand."
"Even though you see a slowing down in the consumption, I think we are going to see a lot of tools around lending, around the financialization of NFTs that are going to make the NFT space even larger than other spaces like DeFi, etcetera," she said.
CoinFund has already been very active in NFT market. The firm led Rarible's $14 million fundraise, which was announced earlier this month. It is also an investor in Dapper Labs, Genies, and NFTfi, according to its website.
The NFT market saw breakneck growth earlier this year, with weekly trade volume soaring to nearly $200 million in late February. It stood at around $40 million the week of June 20.
"NFTs are so much more than just the art, they’re so much more than just collectibles, think about contracts, think about other aspects of your life that are unique, anything that you can create an NFT out of," Grellet said. "So the sky's the limit.”

Fuku-Shiva
The term “Fuku” refers to fortune or good luck. “Shiva” refers to the Hindu deity who represents strongly polar qualities, both severe and delicate.
On a beach inspired by adventures on Phi Phi island in Thailand, three youths cavort. Two are representational figures and the third is psychologically rendered. A dynamic relationship ensues between the triad; a reciprocity of active and passive states. The boy on the right engages in maneuvers of evasion, defense, and is dressed in a speedo which reiterates the colors and symbolism of the caution tape on the left and upper right frame of the composition. In concurrent reaction the psychedelic figure shoots out a rocket powered paper airplane. The nude boy seated in the froth and sand approaches in passive repose, and is met with active attention but equal physical reserve by the psychedelic being.
Perhaps the most naked figure is also the least representational. Looming large, dynamic, and active, it engages its companions playfully. Various symbols interject into the otherwise naturalistic scene, most notably a beach ball and two contaminated barrels nested in the sand. The upright barrel reads “FukuShima” in Kanji. The barrel laying down reads “Dharma”.
To the left the scene is bounded by caution tape, reiterating the danger of the nuclear waste while also hosting alien archetypes, whose presence, as is the nature of these entities, runs up and just behind the consciousness of the psychedelic figure’s eggshell-like skull.

Fidenza is by far my most versatile algorithm to date.
