History
In August 2018, the venture company Golden Gate Ventures announced its intention to open Singapore’s first Southeast Asian cryptocurrency venture fund LuneX Ventures with $ 10 million assets under the leadership of former development director Golden Gate Kenrick Drijkoningen. Kenrick Drijkoningen said that “now the cryptocurrency valuations are close to their real market values, as the industry has become a little more mature and now is a great time to start investing in cryptocurrencies.” Speaking of the blockchain, the development of projects with which the foundation also intends to be involved, it was stated that “the technology of the distributed registry is a fundamental discovery that looks like the Internet in terms of its impact on society and the economy.” According to Drijkoningen, the fund already has a list of at least five potential investment projects, including the new Sparrow Exchange trading platform.
