Fission is building protocols for identity, data, and computing, for the future of the Internet.
Odaily News: Fission has announced the completion of a $10 million Series A funding round, led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Circle Ventures, Borderless Capital, and Ari Rubenstein, among others. The round was completed in September, with the valuation undisclosed. Fission primarily provides liquidity services for tokenized funds, acting as a buyer to help investors sell their fund shares without waiting for the fund to process redemptions; after users connect their digital wallets and submit sell requests, Fission handles the relevant legal and transaction processes. CEO Jonathan Shaffer stated that for products that typically take around 200 days to sell, investors can sell immediately after paying a fee, with settlement times reduced to 90 seconds or less. Fission was founded in 2024, with a founding team that includes former employees of Point72 and Securitize. Its clients are mainly institutional investors and organizations holding on-chain assets, such as hedge funds holding tokenized private credit or equity assets, crypto institutions managing treasuries, and stablecoin issuers allocating reserves to yield-bearing tokenized investment products.
Odaily News: Solari Capital founder AJ Scaramucci has announced the end of stealth operations, with the firm having deployed approximately $350 million since its inception across early-stage investments, later-stage growth investments, and internal incubation projects. Scaramucci introduced the "Programmable Reality" investment thesis, arguing that as computing power continues to advance, domains such as biology, intelligence, matter, and money will gradually become "substrate materials" that can be programmed and engineered through software. Solari's investment portfolio spans AI, computing power, foundation models, computational biology, gene therapy, aerospace, energy, semiconductors, robotics, blockchain infrastructure, and DeFi, including projects such as xAI, Suno, Tessera Therapeutics, Varda Space, Giga Energy, and Fission Labs.
