$61.74M DEPIN FUND LAUNCHED BY ESCAPE VELOCITY Escape Velocity closes a $61.74M fund focused on decentralized physical infrastructure, backed by Marc Andreessen, Ribbit Capital, and Cendana.

Key question: are decentralized infrastructures finally ready to scale, or is the market still too early? 👉 Full breakdown on http:/Cryptonomist.ch en.cryptonomist.ch/2026/01/29/...… #DePIN #Web3 #CryptoInfrastructure #VentureCapital #CryptoConversations
