New Modalities for Issuance and Trading
It is effectively impossible for a regular person to create a new tradeable asset on traditional financial rails. Crypto trivializes this. Today, anyone in the world can create new assets on Solana in a few seconds for ~$0 cost. Consequently, there has been an explosion in user-generated assets (UGAs).

Where Are All The Robots?
Today, we are excited to announce that Multicoin led an $8M strategic acquisition of GEOD, the native token of the Geodnet Network, from the Geodnet Foundation. Geodnet is a precise positioning network that leverages DePIN economics to power mission-critical localization services for drones, autonomous vehicles, and the tens of millions of robots that will likely proliferate the Earth over coming years.
Inverting The Human-Agent Relationship
In 1997, IBM’s Deep Blue defeated then-World Champion Garry Kasparov in a chess match, and it became clear that computer chess engines would soon surpass humans. Interestingly, a well-prepared human working together with a computer—an arrangement often called a "centaur"—could outperform the strongest engines of that era.
The Solana Thesis: Internet Capital Markets
Multicoin Capital has been investing in Solana’s native asset, SOL, and the broader Solana ecosystem since Solana’s seed round in May 2018. We have previously published four theses about Solana in that time. The first two were published about nine months before mainnet produced its first block in March 2020. As the Solana network has evolved, so has our frame of reference on how to think about the Solana network, and SOL the asset.
Some Things Never Change, Even In 2025
One of the best quotes from Jeff Bezos is: “What's going to change in the next 10 years?' And that is a very interesting question; it's a very common one. I almost never get the question: 'What's not going to change in the next 10 years?' Earlier this week, we published a stereotypical VC post about new areas that our investment team is looking forward to seeing in 2025.
Frontier Ideas For 2025
2025 is poised to be a pivotal year for the industry. The emergence of the first pro-crypto regulatory framework, combined with the technical maturity of Layer 1 blockchains, DeFi protocols, DePIN networks, and stablecoins, is creating fertile ground for the next wave of frontier innovations. Staying true to our tradition, we’re sharing the ideas and opportunities that excite us most for the year ahead.

Last month, we hosted the Multicoin Summit in New York City. This annual gathering allows us to spotlight the most important trends of the year and share our insights on what to expect in the years ahead. To help unpack these ideas, we assembled an outstanding lineup of speakers, including founders and CEOs from Drift, Hivemapper, Baxus, Jito, Pyth, dFlow, Solana, Visa, and Double Zero.
P2P Pipes
The first large scale P2P application on the Internet was Napster (email/SMTP was designed to be P2P and self-hosted, but in practice ended up federated). The spiritual successor to Napster was the BitTorrent protocol, which at peak, represented ~25-35% of all internet traffic in the mid-2000s. Both were permissionless: anyone could host any file.
The Great Energy Coordination Problem
Today, we are proud to announce a $12M round in Fuse. Fuse is a core contributor to Project Zero, a renewable energy DePIN designed to solve the great energy coordination problem. Fuse is a full-stack renewable energy company built by Alan Chang and Charles Orr, who were both early employees at Revolut. Alan and Charles were pivotal to the early growth of Revolut, and set their sights on solving the energy crisis in 2022.
