Hong Kong-based venture capital firm Chiron has raised a $50 million fund dedicated to backing projects on the Terra blockchain, the company announced Wednesday.
The firm will use the funds to boost “decentralized finance applications, metaverse-linked non-fungible token (NFT) platforms and more,” according to a press release.

The fund is the latest cash influx into Terra’s rapidly growing ecosystem, which attracted a $150 million decentralized finance (DeFi) fund in July.
Investor confidence in the Terra ecosystem has never been higher, a representative of the fund told CoinDesk, as the blockchain’s native LUNA token continues testing all-time highs despite an overall market downturn.
Chiron is just the latest of many funds to bet on the future of metaverse and Web 3 gaming. South Korean-based Hashed raised a $200 million Web 3 fund last week, along with a $100 million Solana gaming fund raised by Lightspeed and FTX in November.
“The Terra ecosystem’s growth potential, particularly after the latest Columbus-5 upgrade and announcements on Risk Harbor insurance wrapped protection, is limitless,” said Jake Cormack, chief operating officer at Chiron Partners. “We want to work closely with visionaries behind up-and-coming projects built on Terra, supporting them with not just capital, but also our strategic, extensive resources and expertise.”

After 2025’s Test Run, Crypto IPOs Face Their Real Trial in 2026
"2026 is where we find out if crypto IPOs are a durable asset class," according to Laura Katherine Mann, a partner at global law firm White & Case.
What to know:
- 2025 is the test-case year for crypto IPOs, but 2026 will be the real verdict, when markets decide if digital asset listings are a durable asset class or just a bull-market trade, says White & Case partner Laura Katherine Mann.
- The 2026 roster skews toward financial infrastructure, regulated exchanges and brokerages, custody and infrastructure providers, and stablecoin payments and treasury platforms.
- A more constructive U.S. regulatory backdrop and rising institutionalization support the IPO window, but Mann says valuation discipline, macro risk and crypto price action will determine how many deals actually make it to market.
