The BFF II has already invested in some 11 projects, such as decentralized derivatives exchange FXDX, video games startup Breshna, healthcare app “Health Hero”.
Mansoor Madhavji, Partner at Blockchain Founders Fund, said in the announcement:

Whilst the broader crypto market is yet to overcome this new year’s bearish phase, investments in crypto-related companies have not lost their momentum.
Animoca Brands recently nearly $369 million in new funding round, almost tripling its October 2021 valuation. Moreover, Andreessen Horowitz is to raise a whopping $4.5 billion for two new crypto funds, per a report by the Financial Times.
