Psalion Launches $50 Million Fund to Chase Crypto’s Vanishing Seed Deals

Psalion has closed its third and largest venture fund: $50 million aimed at the pre-seed and seed-stage startups crypto’s industry has been abandoning. The Singapore-based digital asset manager announced the vehicle on July 27.

The fund’s first disclosed bet already makes the case for it. Psalion led a $4 million round for Beezie, a Web3 collectibles marketplace that has booked more than $85 million in revenue so far this year, up more than fiftyfold in nine months.

Inside Fund III’s Singapore Structure

The new vehicle is structured as a Variable Capital Company (VCC), Singapore’s umbrella fund structure that lets asset managers pool investor capital under one regulated entity. It is managed by Conduit Asset Management Pte. Ltd., a fund manager licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

Psalion closed its third and largest venture vehicle to fund six categories of founders:

• Blockchain infrastructure and middleware
• On-chain trade finance
• Tokenized real-world assets
• Stablecoin systems
• Decentralized finance applications
• Consumer products running quietly on web3 rails

Managing Partner Tim Enneking, who has more than three decades of international capital markets experience across over 30 countries and roughly $12 billion in assets managed, framed the fund’s logic in blunt terms.

“Crypto was the thesis. The traditional financial system was the antithesis. What we’re investing in is the synthesis,” Enneking said. He described the target as web2 businesses that run quietly on web3 infrastructure underneath.

Seed Deals Have Collapsed 88% Since 2022

The timing is deliberate. Enneking said Psalion’s strategy of launching funds during downturns has not changed across three vehicles.

“Some of the best opportunities arise in down markets. Valuations are more reasonable, founders are more focused, and the builders who show up are in it for the long term,” Enneking said.

The data explains why founders are harder to find. Seed-stage crypto deals fell 88% since 2022, dropping from 694 rounds that year to just 81 in the first half of 2026, according to a Tiger Research study on crypto venture capital published through CoinGecko. Seed’s share of all crypto deals slid from 35.3% to 18.7% over the same stretch.

Psalion’s new fund runs straight into that gap. Pre-seed and seed is the fund’s explicit target, deployed at its largest scale yet, while most of the industry has rotated toward later, steadier rounds.

Beezie Turns Trading Cards Into an $85 Million Business

Beezie links physical collectibles to on-chain digital twins, starting with trading cards and expanding into luxury goods and entertainment merchandise. Buyers can discover, own, trade and resell the same physical item without it leaving secure storage.

The platform has processed more than $170 million in gross merchandise value since launch and surpassed $85 million in revenue this year, according to figures the company discloses in its own documentation. Beezie has drawn more than 30,000 active users since January 2026.

Demand showed up before Psalion’s check did. Beezie’s late-June raise on Echo, a community fundraising platform, targeted just $250,000 and sold out in 10 minutes. It hit its $1 million cap within 24 hours.

At its core, Beezie is about making consumers feel something every time they transact. We’re thrilled to partner with Psalion as we continue scaling that vision across collectibles, luxury, entertainment, and beyond.

Andrea Miele, Beezie’s founder and chief executive, said that in the companies’ joint announcement.

Enneking called Beezie a template for the fund’s whole approach. “Beezie is exactly the kind of company our thesis is built around,” he said, pointing to a real consumer product with real revenue and blockchain doing the work quietly underneath.

The Portfolio Behind the Pitch

Fund III does not start from zero. Psalion’s existing venture book includes Solana, Aave, Sushi, Polkadot, the privacy protocol Hinkal, the risk platform Arkis and the stablecoin protocol Usual, spanning the same infrastructure, DeFi and stablecoin categories the new fund targets. Psalion has not disclosed the size of those individual positions or their current returns.

Where Is the Rest of Crypto’s Venture Money Going?

Most new crypto venture capital is skipping early-stage bets and flowing into stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets and exchanges instead. Payments and stablecoin startups drew the largest share of new funding in early 2026, tokenized real-world assets passed $24 billion outstanding, and later-stage rounds now absorb most of the capital that used to fund seed deals.

• $24 billion-plus in tokenized real-world assets now sits on-chain, an all-time high, with tokenized U.S. Treasuries reaching $13.4 billion
• 25.3% of new crypto venture capital in early 2026 went to payments and stablecoin startups, the single largest sector, ahead of centralized exchanges at 18.2% and prediction markets at 17.5%
• 75.2% of all crypto venture dollars in the first half of 2026 went into Series A rounds and later, not seed
• 54.5% of first-half 2026 crypto investment deals included a traditional financial institution as a participant

Stablecoins and tokenized assets are also two of the six categories Fund III is chartered to fund, putting Psalion on both sides of the divide: writing seed checks the broader market has pulled back from, into sectors that same market is pouring later-stage money into.

The Risk in Betting Early When the Market Wants Control

The fund is barely a month old and has one disclosed investment so far. Trade finance, infrastructure, middleware and consumer apps, the rest of its target list, remain unannounced.

Pre-seed and seed bets take years to prove out under ordinary conditions. In a market where institutional money increasingly wants later-stage certainty, Psalion is choosing the stage where evidence is thinnest.

Beezie is the concrete test case for now. The company plans to use its new capital for inventory across collectibles, luxury goods and entertainment, plus expansion into new geographic markets, according to the companies’ announcement. Whether the rest of Fund III’s pre-seed and seed bets show similar traction will not be clear for years.
