Full Story

Galaxy Ventures, just raised $113M to invest in early-stage companies building crypto protocols, software infrastructure and financialized applications.

That’s not a whole lot in the grand scheme of things, but the last two words of that announcement are getting us excited.

Over the past year or so, most funds/VC’s have been heavily focused on investing in infrastructure plays, while blockchain apps have gotten the cold shoulder.

It takes big names to shift a trend in the investing world, and Mike Novogratz's Galaxy Asset Management is one of the most respected names in the space.

Godspeed, Mikey boy.

Godspeed.
