RTFKT's $8M funding round may hide the biggest secret in this circle

Back in May 2021, RTFKT completed an $8 million funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz(. Even more interesting is the list of investors — a mix of traditional VCs, crypto capital, creative creators, and IP operators.

This not only explains what has happened in the past.

More importantly, the structure of this list itself hints at the future direction. You see, the participation of top VCs, crypto funds, content creators, and brands in the same project reflects a signal that the NFT ecosystem is maturing — no longer just a game for tech players or investors, but an experimental ground for deep integration of traditional business, creative industries, and Web3.

This diversified capital composition may herald a new paradigm for the development of NFTs and digital brands.

Among the $8 million funding list, those hidden LP relationships are the core. I have been tracking the fund flows of these addresses on-chain for a long time; the truly valuable information is not in the public investor list.

To be honest, this list of investors is a bit outrageous. Traditional VCs teaming up with crypto funds and then adding creative creators feels like putting everyone on the same track to bet on the future... but it also pretty much explains the situation.
