DWF Labs, a crypto market maker and investment firm, has unveiled a $250 million Liquid Fund aimed at fostering the growth of mid- and large-cap blockchain initiatives. This fund seeks to enhance the real-world adoption of Web3 technologies through significant and strategic investments. As part of this effort, DWF Labs, based in Dubai, is set to finalize two key agreements: one for $25 million and another for $10 million, as stated in a March 24 announcement. The DWF Labs Fund will concentrate on investments ranging from $10 million to $50 million in projects that show strong potential for scaling blockchain technology and infrastructure for broader use.
“Through this fund, we are doubling down on our mission to accelerate Web3 innovation and adoption,” said Andrei Grachev, managing partner at DWF Labs.
“We believe that strategic capital, coupled with hands-on ecosystem development, is the key to unlocking the next wave of growth for the industry.” said Grachev, managing partner at DWF Labs.
The fund’s introduction follows the Foundation’s announcement of an $88 million ecosystem fund aimed at AI-driven DeFi and autonomous finance (DeFAI) agents. This initiative highlights a rising trend among blockchain investors who are focusing on technologies that solve real-world problems and improve user experiences. Grachev emphasized that for Web3 to achieve widespread adoption, the infrastructure must cater to the needs of new users. To facilitate this, every project supported by the fund will receive ecosystem assistance, which includes strategies to expand lending markets, enhance brand visibility, and improve stablecoin and DeFi integrations to increase liquidity. Industry experts have increasingly identified onboarding challenges as a significant obstacle to crypto adoption.
In a recent interview with Media, Dan Greer, Co-Founder of DeFi App, said mass adoption of DeFi “hinges on solving its biggest barriers: complexity, cost, and accessibility.”
“The centralized exchange market generates $40 billion annually but serves only a fraction of its potential, with less than 20 million of 631 million CEX users having tried DeFi due to complexity barriers and concerns over asset custody,” Greer explained.
