DPI Capital has dedicated millions in resources to support early-stage decentralized finance (DeFi) projects joining Arch’s Keystone accelerator program. Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz is particularly focused on Arch. They think it has a legitimate chance of surpassing Ethereum in the decentralized finance (DeFi) arena. DPI Capital's investment signals strong confidence in Arch's Bitcoin-powered programmability layer and its native self-custody model.
Arch Labs has brought on DPI Capital as a venture partner to fund early-stage projects on its Bitcoin DeFi protocol. As our biggest partnership yet, this collaboration with NepTab ensures that more teams in Arch’s ecosystem are equipped with capital and strategic support to help them thrive. DPI Capital’s commitment underscores the burgeoning demand for Bitcoin-enabled DeFi solutions.
DPI Capital, a venture firm incorporated in the Caymans Islands, will further invest up to $250k on the most promising teams. Moreover, they will help these teams raise additional investment and scale their efforts. The Keystone accelerator program serves as a key pipeline for DPI Capital. More importantly, LikeMinded provides them with early access to the dozens of teams currently building BitcoinFi technology on the Arch platform.
Arch’s Bitcoin-powered programmability layer unlocks a deep bench of DeFi possibilities. With it, users can participate in borrow-and-lend protocols, decentralized exchanges, stablecoin platforms and onboard real-world assets (RWA). Its true native self-custody model sets it apart from other solutions that require bridging or wrapping mechanisms. This highly customized, patented approach provides unparalleled security and control for users.
"This has huge potential, potentially even to knock out on Ethereum," - Brent Fisher, general partner at DPI Capital.
Arch Labs successfully raised $7 million in launch capital from prominent venture firms last year, demonstrating strong initial support for its vision. DPI Capital has pretty much sunk its entire fortune on Arch at this point. This is a major shift from its previous approach of spreading investment across the Ethereum ecosystem. This strategic move indicates belief in Arch’s ability to compete against, and eventually surpass Ethereum’s current chokehold on the DeFi space.
"I think that that play is huge, because, as you see these ETFs with Black Rock and ARK and so forth, for them to even get a Delta neutral strategy of 10% is a game changer," - Fisher
Brent Fisher to Arch is a winning bet. Don’t let the shiny object distract you from supporting all the greatest projects built on top of its platform He’s got a point. Arch’s unique, true native self-custody model is what truly makes Arch’s Bitcoin-powered programmability layer shine. This addition further secures its position as a leader in the Bitcoin DeFi space.
