About

ParaFi Capital, founded in 2018 by Ben Forman, is a pioneering digital asset investment firm focused on blockchain, decentralized finance (DeFi), and crypto ecosystems. The firm has become a leader in institutional crypto investment, managing a diversified strategy that spans liquid investments, venture capital, and quantitative approaches. ParaFi’s strategy is deeply thematic and research-driven, targeting innovative blockchain projects with strong product-market fit and long-term growth potential. ParaFi is particularly known for its involvement in the DeFi space, having invested in key projects like Uniswap, Aave, and Compound. Their investment philosophy revolves around taking concentrated positions in these foundational projects while also making early bets on experimental, emerging technologies within the digital asset space. This diversified yet focused approach allows ParaFi to be nimble in a fast-evolving market while staying committed to high-impact investments. Recently, ParaFi raised $120 million to expand its portfolio by acquiring general-partner stakes in other crypto funds, demonstrating their confidence in the continued maturation of the crypto sector. This capital will be deployed over the next few years, with a plan to diversify into 50 different crypto funds, further solidifying their position as a key player in institutional crypto investment. The firm also leverages on-chain analytics to continuously evaluate and adjust its positions in real-time, a major shift in how investment decisions are made in the digital asset industry. With a growing team and an expanding portfolio, ParaFi continues to shape the future of blockchain and DeFi, positioning itself at the forefront of the digital financial revolution.
