Bitcoin and altcoin venture capital firm Pantera Capital has announced the launch of a new fund to invest in The Open Network (TON), reiterating its belief in Telegram’s TON blockchain. This new funding follows the firm’s first investment in TON tokens and demonstrates Pantera’s long-term commitment to this project. Meanwhile, investment developments in other cryptocurrency companies also attracted attention.
Pantera focused on altcoin TON
The new fund, called the Pantera TON Investment Opportunity, aims to raise capital to purchase additional TON tokens to support developments in the TON ecosystem and increase token adoption. In an email sent to potential investors earlier this week, Pantera invited investors to participate in its upcoming investment round. To take part in the fund, interested parties must express their interest through a form by June 21. The form specifies a minimum investment rule of $250,000 for investors.

This latest attempt shows Pantera’s belief in TON and their commitment to this project. Pantera invested in TON in March, making one of the largest investments in the company’s history. Although the terms of the agreement at that time were not disclosed to the public, it is known that the investment was made at a significant discount. “We believe the TON network is still in its early stages and are excited to witness the adoption of its ecosystem and new features by the Telegram user base,” Ryan Barney, a partner at Pantera, said in a statement last month.
The Open Network (TON) is a layer 1 blockchain platform developed by Telegram. TON is a platform that stands out with its high process capacity, low process prices and scalability. The platform supports smart contracts, decentralized applications and other advanced DeFi solutions.
