Cryptocurrency Private Equity is similar to venture capital funds, with the only difference being the entry stage of investment. Cryptocurrency private equity funds will invest in a cryptocurrency or blockchain project that is much more mature than the stage at which a venture capital fund would enter. Private equity funds invest in the project at a much later stage, to ensure that the technology or applications promised by the project have been proven to work and that the project is ready to scale, thereby reducing the risk exposure of the fund.
