Pangea Blockchain Fund

James C. Row serves as Managing Partner and leads investment decisions for the fund. Row has been the public face of Pangea since its launch, driving the thesis around enterprise blockchain infrastructure. The firm has not publicly disclosed additional investment committee members or general partners as of mid-2026.

Pangea sources from its position inside Lugano's blockchain ecosystem, which includes proximity to foundations, protocol developers, and regulators in Switzerland's Crypto Valley. The fund also leverages networks in North American and European enterprise software circles where blockchain infrastructure companies emerge from academic labs and corporate R&D spinouts. No captive pipeline from a wealth origin or parent institution has been disclosed.

Pangea's disclosed posture is equity-focused, backing infrastructure companies rather than purchasing liquid tokens. The fund's confirmed positions — CySec and Securrency — are both equity investments in regulatory and security infrastructure firms serving digital-asset enterprises. The firm has not publicly disclosed any direct token treasury or liquid-crypto trading activity.

The fund concentrates on Seed and Series A rounds, entering at the point where enterprise blockchain startups have a working product and early commercial traction with institutional clients. Pangea targets companies building custody, tokenization, and identity-layer infrastructure rather than consumer-facing Web3 applications.

Pangea operates as a closed-end private equity fund structure, domiciled in Switzerland and targeting a $200 million fund size. It follows standard venture capital terms for equity investments in early-stage companies, with a thematic restriction to enterprise blockchain rather than open-ended crypto exposure. No publicly listed vehicle or evergreen structure has been indicated by the firm.

Domiciling in Lugano places Pangea under Swiss financial regulation and within Ticino's emerging blockchain-friendly legal framework. The canton has actively courted crypto and blockchain firms, including Tether's Plan B initiative, creating a local ecosystem that provides Pangea with regulatory clarity and proximity to other infrastructure builders. This Swiss base may also offer LPs comfort relative to funds domiciled in less-regulated jurisdictions.

No formal affiliation between Pangea Blockchain Fund and Tether or the Plan B initiative has been publicly disclosed. Both entities share a geographic base in Lugano, and Plan B has worked to make the city a blockchain hub, but Pangea operates as an independent asset manager with its own fund structure and investment committee. Any operational overlap would be limited to shared ecosystem participation.
