(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands)
We are a newly organized blank check company. We plan to focus on the digital asset industry.
While we may pursue an initial business combination in any business or industry, we expect to focus on sectors aligned with the ongoing digitization of financial infrastructure. These include digital assets, Web3 technologies, financial services infrastructure, and other blockchain-driven business models.
Our management team and board have a decades-long track record of investing across the crypto, digital asset, and technology ecosystems. We believe we are well-positioned to identify businesses that are building core infrastructure such as wallets, custody, exchanges, data protocols, and tokenized financial instruments as well as real-world applications of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies, including in payments, DeFi (as defined herein), and cross-border finance.
