If the raise is a success, Dragonfly will be the latest high-value fund to emerge in recent months. Paradigm smashed records with a $2.5 billion fund announced in November. Andreessen Horowitz is reportedly doubling down on its already-prodigious crypto war chest with a $4.5 billion target for a pair of new funds.

Dragonfly had not replied to a CoinDesk email by the time of publication.
