The unsigned letter to the fund’s limited partners, dated April 27, says the decision is “due to a difference in vision on the direction of the firm.” Pack will continue to serve in a part-time capacity as a venture partner, stewarding one of the company’s first funds.
“The split could not be more amicable,” Qureshi told CoinDesk via email. “Alex is a great investor and thinker in crypto, and he'll continue supporting our ecosystem of portfolio companies as a Venture Partner. We remain on great terms with him and we hope to continue to work together down the road.”
Dragonfly has been a large but quiet firm in the space, announcing itself in October 2018 with $100 million under management. The firm’s objective has always been to bridge investments between the U.S. and Asia. It invests in cryptocurrencies, new protocols and startups, including Compound, Coda, dYdX and Celo, according to the company's website. It took a large stake in MKR tokens late last year.

Pack was an alumnus of Bain Capital Ventures. The other managing partners include Bo Feng, previously a founding partner of Ceyuan Ventures, and Haseeb Qureshi, previously a general partner at MetaStable Capital.
“We remain on great terms with Alexander and look forward to collaborating with him in his future endeavors for many years to come,” the letter states.
Pack did not reply to a request for comment as of press time.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

Coinbase’s Base faces builder backlash over creator coin push
Builders on Base are pushing back against the network’s close alignment with Zora, arguing the creator-coin narrative sidelines established projects.
What to know:
- Base has seen a surge in creator-coin issuance via Zora, with daily token mints surpassing Solana in August, boosting onchain activity and attention.
- Some Base-native projects say marketing and social support has become narrowly focused on Zora-linked initiatives, leaving other established communities without recognition.
- While Base continues to process more than 10 million transactions per day, critics warn that deteriorating builder sentiment could push projects toward rival chains like Solana or Sui.
