Big Bucks for Blockchain
In an exhilarating stride towards the Web3 frontier, the Venom Foundation, based in Abu Dhabi, has teamed up with investment manager Iceberg Capital to unveil a jaw-dropping billion-dollar venture. Together, they are steering their new partnership, aptly named the Venom Ventures Fund, into the promising realm of blockchain applications and decentralized platforms.
What Is the Venom Ventures Fund?
The Venom Ventures Fund isn’t just a fancy name—it’s a financial beast aimed at nurturing innovative protocols and decentralized applications (DApps) that span across various sectors, including payments, asset management, decentralized finance (DeFi), and GameFi. If it’s blockchain, this fund wants to be part of it!
Why Should We Care?
Let’s break it down: ice-cold transactions just got a whole lot warmer with Iceberg Capital in the picture. The investment firm will not only be managing the fund but is also leveraging their impressive network to provide incubation programs, industry connections, and comprehensive support ranging from marketing to regulatory assistance. It’s like having a Swiss Army knife for blockchain startups!
Global Ambitions, Local Foundations
Venom Ventures isn’t just holed up in Abu Dhabi. According to chairman Peter Knez, the capital and resources for this ambitious fund come from the Venom Foundation and a mix of regional institutional and private investors. And hold on to your hats—this initiative is tailored for global reach, not just local talent. So, if you’re a startup looking to shake up the blockchain game, they’ve got you covered, no matter where you are.
The Tech That Will Change the Game
Knez elaborates on some of the cool services that’ll ride the wave of their scalable, proof-of-stake blockchain solution. We’re talking payment systems, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), stablecoins, and remittance solutions—essentially, the tech that could make transactions as smooth as butter!

And let’s not forget about micropayments! These little financial nuggets have the potential to transform Web3 business models while breaking down barriers to financial inclusion for developing countries.
Abu Dhabi: The Blockchain Empire Awaits
The UAE is on an unstoppable march to establish itself as the Middle East’s blockchain and cryptocurrency hub. With over 1,500 Web3 businesses already making waves in the region, and regulators actively backing the cause since regulatory guidelines dropped in September 2022, Abu Dhabi is turning heads faster than you can say “decentralized revolution.”
