VanEck – one of the largest investment funds in the digital asset sector – is preparing to launch the VanEck PurposeBuilt Fund next month, with the special feature that this fund focuses solely on the Avalanche ecosystem.
This is an unprecedented move by VanEck, as they confirm there are no plans to do the same with any other ecosystem, according to Pranav Kanade – Portfolio Manager at VanEck Digital Assets Alpha Fund.
Why did VanEck choose Avalanche?
According to Mr. Kanade, more and more serious projects in the crypto space tend to want to control their entire technology infrastructure, avoiding 'value leakage' through intermediaries. #Avalanche with Layer-1 architecture designed to optimize for that.
Furthermore, Avalanche stands out thanks to its strong ecosystem development strategy and proactive cooperation with reputable investment funds – including VanEck.
For early-stage projects, Avalanche C-Chain provides a high-performance EVM environment, competitive with other leading blockchains, creating ideal conditions for testing product-market fit.
The fund's investment strategy: not chasing trends, focusing on quality
VanEck stated that the fund will invest in high liquidity tokens as well as projects backed by venture capital (VC) funds, covering various fields such as:
Blockchain Games
Financial Services
Payment
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The fund aims for a strategy based on fundamental analysis, prioritizing investment after or right when a project holds its token generation event (TGE), to ensure a long-term direction rather than just focusing on short-term trends.
The unused capital of the fund will also be deployed on-chain directly on Avalanche, through real-world asset (RWA) products like tokenized money markets – helping to maintain liquidity and optimize capital efficiency.
Strategic Partnership: Avalanche selectively chooses investors
The establishment of this fund is not coincidental. Kanade mentioned that Avalanche is 'very impressed with the investment strategy' of #VanEck , and both parties have worked together to build a fund structure aligned with the common direction: focusing on supporting serious founders, avoiding being overwhelmed by memecoin waves or superficial projects.
This aligns with the current trend, as capital is gradually shifting from infrastructure to applications with real value, and Avalanche is emerging as a notable option for leading builders in this phase.
Impact on the crypto market and Binance users
The fact that a major player like VanEck chose Avalanche as the only ecosystem to invest in could be a positive signal for institutional capital flowing into this blockchain.
Binance users and individual investors can see this as an opportunity to reassess the potential of AVAX and projects built on the Avalanche ecosystem – especially as smart money is prioritizing platforms with diverse ecosystems and clear development strategies.
Risk Warning
Although the fund launch is a positive signal, investors should note that the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and carries high risks. One should not invest based on trends or merely because of information from large organizations. Always conduct your own research, manage capital wisely and clearly define your risk appetite. #anhbacong
