Paradigm is set to take part in a $1.15 billion investment into the electronic-trading firm, Citadel Securities, alongside one of the United States’ largest venture capital firms, Sequoia Capital.
A $22 Billion Valuation
One of the most prolific crypto and Web3 investors, Paradigm, has diversified into the world of traditional finance.
Today, Citadel Securities објави that it had secured a total $1.15 billion investment from the crypto and Web3 investment firm Paradigm and venture capital firm Sequoia Capital. This investment represents the prolific market maker’s first outside investment, and the minority stake sold by Citadel Securities valued the firm at approximately $22 billion.
According to Citadel Securities CEO Peng Zhao, the firm’s partnership with Paradigm and Sequoia should allow it to scale the business into new markets and bring in more talent. Moreover, според The Wall Street Journal, the money raised could pave the way for the business to go public via initial public offering.
Citadel Securities is separately managed from Ken Griffin’s $43 billion hedge fund Citadel, but the majority is still owned by Griffin. While the hedge fund billionaire has historically been skeptical of cryptocurrencies and his firms have not traded in them, it is possible in the wake of today’s news that Citadel Securities will incorporate digital assets into its business at some point. The co-founder and managing partner at Paradigm, Matt Huang, said that the partnership between his firm and Citadel Securities takes place “as they extend their technology and expertise to even more markets and asset classes, including crypto.”
Paradigm has an extensive crypto and Web3 portfolio that includes Coinbase, Cosmos, Uniswap, and Ethereum scaling solutions like Optimism and Ацтеките. In November 2021, the firm launched the largest crypto fund to date—$2.5 billion dedicated to Web3 projects.
Sequoia Capital is an American VC fund with around $80 billion in assets under management. Its investments included both Google and Airbnb before either firm went public.
Citadel Securities, whose majority owner Ken Griffin претепан ConstitutionDAO with a $43 million bid on one of the original copies of the U.S. Constitution last November, is a market maker that accounts for approximately one quarter of the volume of shares traded on the U.S. stock market each day.
