Investment thesis

LD Capital (Liquid Digital) is one of Asia's earliest and most prominent crypto-focused venture funds, established in 2016, with a portfolio of over 300 blockchain and Web3 enterprises. The firm invests across primary and secondary markets with a focus on DeFi (31%), GameFi (24%), blockchain infrastructure (22%), NFTs, and social/CeFi projects. It provides full life-cycle support — from financing and market-making to listing, marketing, and liquidity management — and positions itself as a leading liquidity provider and market maker for its portfolio companies. LD Capital's investment philosophy centers on growing together with industry pioneers and supporting Web3 entrepreneurs across macro trends, strategic consulting, market branding, and industry relationships. The firm focuses on the Ethereum ecosystem, new public chains, GameFi, and DeFi, and increasingly on AI combined with finance. It operates globally with teams in Shanghai, Singapore, New York, Europe, Japan, and South Korea, and maintains strategic partnerships with crypto media and exchanges.

Notable quotes

The recent wave of failures among crypto VCs and projects had one core cause: funding was largely spent on maintaining teams that built useless Web3 products. The biggest misconception was trying to replicate Web2 products. In essence, Web3 is a financial industry — it doesn't require re-creating Web2 products. Now, with the AI era arriving, AI + finance presents a new opportunity. We believe exceptional founders, backed by just a few elite team members, can build world-class companies — this represents the single largest opportunity in today's primary market.
