  • The second, which will focus on later-stage investments and is set to be capped at EUR100 million ($109 million), will close later this month, the report said.

  • Fabric Ventures last closed a $130 million fund for investment in early-stage blockchain firms in July 2021, which included $30 million from the European Investment Fund (EIF). The EIF is comprised of the European Investment Bank, European Union and other financial institutions.
