However, the crypto world always likes to do things a little bit differently.
One of Europe s leading digital asset venture capital firms, KR1, is instead incredibly public and listed on the Aquis stock exchange.
KR1 launched in 2016 with the goal of providing more investors with access and exposure to the crypto space as well as to raise capital, said George McDonaugh, CEO and co-founder of KR1. The firm started with a small equity raise of £200,000 ($280,000) and has now raised £2.7 million ($3.7 million), in total, he said. We re proud of our transparent track record because we re public, everything we buy and sell is out there for the public to understand and I think that s an important thing to exist in this space, McDonaugh said.
