"Pantera is wrapping up its new Fund V first close amid a massive regulatory turning point, highlighted by its highly profitable, structural Solana plays and the launch of the first Solana Digital Asset Treasury (HSDT)."
Executive Summary
Pantera Capital's letter announces the upcoming first close of Pantera Fund V on October 31, 2025. It highlights the massive success of its hybrid model in Fund IV, exemplified by its Solana strategy which returned 850% (driven by a 50% discount acquisition from the FTX estate, a 7% staking yield, and a custom PIPE deal). Additionally, Pantera details its lead role in a $500 million PIPE into Helius Medical Technologies, which has been rebranded to 'Solana Company' (HSDT) to serve as a Solana Digital Asset Treasury. General Partner Franklin Bi outlines structural growth drivers for Fund V, including the post-election shift in regulatory environments, a looming wave of crypto company IPOs, and the convergence of crypto and artificial intelligence.
