UAE-based Cequire Capital has allocated $100 million to invest in early-stage blockchain startups, with a focus on stablecoins and stablechains, artificial intelligence, smart payments, real-world assets, privacy infrastructure and post-quantum security.
The Web3 investment firm, founded in 2024, uses a combination of direct token investments and venture capital in early funding rounds. Founder and Managing Partner Salman Barsi said the commitment is backed by a single long-term investor, giving Cequire flexibility to support projects from inception through exit without the pressure of a fixed fund cycle.
Around $50 million is being prepared for immediate deployment. The firm plans to lead early funding rounds ranging from $500,000 to $2 million and build partnerships with other digital venture capital funds to share deals.
Cequire said it has invested more than $50 million across over 20 Web3 projects to date, including $1 million in infrastructure company Wyscale and $500,000 in digital assets firm TX24 last year.
The firm’s capital allocation is split between venture rounds, which account for 60%, traded tokens at 30% and co-investments with partner funds at 10%.
