Denis Barrier had the opportunity to discuss with Citywire France on what the tokenisation of investment funds is about, from the mechanisms of token investment to their advantages for VC funds. Indeed, Cathay Innovation has launched a €100m fund in 2022 to invest in Web 3 companies in partnership with Ledger.
 
As Denis explained: "We have been extremely cautious in our investments, and this is paying off. This fund should have one of the biggest interim IRRs ever seen for a French venture capital fund by the end of the first half of the year".

A fascinating conversation with Auguste GRIGNON DUMOULIN, about a technology that is still in its early stage and whose future looks full of promising opportunities!
