STS Digital AG Secures $30M in Strategic Funding

No longer under wraps... we co-led Midas's $50M Series A with RRE Ventures! Investing should work like the internet: open, transparent, composable - and for everyone. We see 10x the versatility - and potential - in deploying investment strategies onchain compared to traditional markets. But that only works when tokenised assets have full composability across DeFi, which until now, the fewest had. As Simon put it: Midas is building the infrastructure to turn institutional strategies into compliant, composable tokens with full transparency and instant liquidity. The traction is already there ($1.7b assets minted) and the team behind it, led by Dennis, Fabrice & Romain is a unique combination of deep market insights and scale expertise.

TVPI is a vanity metric. DPI is what pays the bills. Most VCs will tell you about their markups. Very few will tell you what they’ve actually returned to investors. We think that needs to change. At Yolo Investments, we’ve decided to publicly disclose our fund returns — because transparency shouldn’t be optional in this industry. Our Fund II (2024 vintage, €100m) is tracking near top-decile across key metrics against Carta benchmarks, and we’re just getting started. Evert breaks it down in our latest piece. https://lnkd.in/ginSCQmr

Strong technology is a prerequisite for success in Web3/DeFi, but it rarely translates into market leadership on its own. For venture funds and digital asset investors, the gap between a protocol’s technical milestone and its institutional perception is where liquidity and traction are often lost. At TokensOnchain Media, we partner with VCs and private capital groups to provide a dedicated Narrative Architecture layer for their portfolio companies. We move beyond generic marketing to focus on capital-relevant signaling: - Transitioning from builder narratives to investor narratives. - Aligning protocol milestones with ecosystem visibility. - Refining positioning for seed extensions, Series A rounds, and exchange listings. Our goal is to ensure that innovation is matched by narrative clarity, helping high-conviction projects reach the institutional capital they deserve. Here's how we support digital asset investors: https://lnkd.in/ehaVeAvn #Web3 #VC #DigitalAssets #DeFi #TokensOnchainMedia
