Binance Labs, the venture capital arm of Binance cryptocurrency exchange has been earmarked as the VC with the largest Launchpool Projects amongst top investment firms.

Binance Launchpool Contribution Data

In a recent report from Root Data Labs, the Web3.0 asset data platform claimed to have compiled data on 30 Binance Launchpool projects since November 2021. For these Launchpool projects, Root Data Labs identified participation from a total of 288 institutional and individual investors. 

Out of all these projects, Binance Labs “took the lead by hitting 21 projects with 190 investment portfolios, achieving an 11.05% hit rate for Launchpool,” Root Data Labs reported on X. 

Firms like OKX Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Dragonfly, Polychain Capital, and g scott russ have plunged their investments in about five Launchpool projects. Meanwhile, Binance Labs invested in only two out of the eight projects that were launched recently and this was due to a previous controversy about “nepotism coins” which involved Binance. This suggests that Launchpool has now become more equitable.

The average hit rate amongst the 288 investors did not reach 2%. However, Gemini’s Frontier Fund, Draper Dragon, LightSpeed, and Folius Venture registered more than 5% respectively.

One of the individual investors, Synthetix founder Kin Warwick, had a hit rate of 8.77%, a figure tagged as commendable. He had two rounds of notable investments in Ethena, Binance 50th Launchpool project. EthHub co-founder Anthony Sassal, also had an impressive hit rate of 8.57%. 

On the other hand, only three of Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) investment portfolios have made it to the Binance list. 

It is not clear why this is the case but the data platform speculated that it could be a sign of the investment firm’s greater commitment to Web3.0 commercial boundaries and regulatory innovation. Most of a16z’s recent investments had centered around crypto, food and even beauty.
