A major blockchain infrastructure player just dropped $200 million into a retail creator's venture—and honestly, this is the kind of move the Ethereum ecosystem actually needs right now. Betting big on influencer-backed projects as a dedicated funding round? That's not just noise. It signals serious confidence in the KOL economy as a real pillar for Web3 adoption. Whether this sparks a new wave of creator-focused investments or becomes a watershed moment for how we fund content-driven projects, one thing's clear: the lines between entertainment and decentralized finance keep blurring. And maybe that's exactly what we need to bring the next million users onchain.

Throwing 200 million in just to harvest the leeks, I don't think it will go as planned.

Speaking of which, this investment is indeed aggressive, but can the KOL economy really support half of Web3's future?

200 million invested just to bet on KOLs? Wake up, everyone.

Now entertainment and DeFi are mixed together; honestly, I can't understand it.
---
Another "next million users" story... I'm already tired of hearing it.
---
The infrastructure team dares to play; influence economy is indeed the new favorite of the sponsors.
---
Wait, can this really bring retail investors on-chain? I have some doubts.
---
KOL economy supports Web3? Laughing out loud, let's see what happens next.

Spending 200 million just to blur the line between DeFi and entertainment, interesting.

This game can be played well, but I bet it won't change anything.

200 million invested in the creative track, now mainstream crypto circles also have to take content ecology seriously
