Superscrypt 尋求籌集 1 億美元資金以建立新的投資基金

Superscrypt 是一家專注於區塊鏈和 Web3 的風險投資公司，由新加坡國有投資公司淡馬錫支持，據報道，該公司正在尋求籌集 1 億美元資金以建立一個新的投資基金。

Singapore state-owned investment firm Temasek is reportedly backing blockchain and Web3 venture capital firm Superscrypt in a $100 million capital raise to establish a new investment fund, according to Bloomberg.

根據彭博社報道，新加坡國有投資公司淡馬錫正在支持區塊鏈和 Web3 創投公司 Superscrypt 籌集 1 億美元資金，以建立一個新的投資基金。

The fund, which is still being finalized and could be subject to change, will see Superscrypt and fintech firm Republic as joint partners in the venture.

該基金仍在敲定中，可能會發生變化，Superscrypt 和金融科技公司 Republic 將成為該合資企業的聯合合作夥伴。

Temasek’s foray into the crypto space has not been without setbacks. In 2022, the government-owned firm made headlines after losing $275 million in the implosion of FTX.

淡馬錫進軍加密貨幣領域並非沒有遇到挫折。 2022 年，這家國有公司在 FTX 崩盤中損失了 2.75 億美元，成為頭條新聞。

The investment was made in two parts: a 1% stake in FTX, purchased in 2021 for roughly $210 million, and a 1.5% minority interest in FTX US — a separate entity — which was acquired for $65 million.

這項投資分為兩部分：2021 年以約 2.1 億美元的價格收購了 FTX 1% 的股權，以及以 6,500 萬美元收購的獨立實體 FTX US 1.5% 的少數股權。

Temasek’s crypto losses and the FTX collapse

淡馬錫的加密貨幣損失和 FTX 崩潰

After FTX’s collapse, representatives of Temasek stated that the firm had conducted months of scrutiny into the former exchange’s financial statements and probed potential regulatory risks, but found no signs of fraud or red flags.

FTX倒閉後，淡馬錫代表表示，該公司對前交易所的財務報表進行了數月的審查，並調查了潛在的監管風險，但沒有發現欺詐或危險信號的跡象。

However, the government-owned firm's role in the FTX saga drew attention to Singapore's regulatory oversight of the crypto industry.

然而，這家國有公司在 FTX 事件中所扮演的角色引起了人們對新加坡對加密貨幣行業監管的關注。

The fallout from the exchange’s bankruptcy caused the ruling party of Singapore’s government to face public criticism for its inability to accurately probe the company’s risks before the collapse and its failure to protect investors from financial loss.

該交易所破產的影響導致新加坡政府執政黨因未能在倒閉前準確調查該公司的風險以及未能保護投資者免受財務損失而面臨公眾批評。

At the time, Lawrence Wong, the former deputy prime minister of Singapore, remarked that Temasek’s heavy losses due to the FTX collapse damaged the investment firm's reputation among market participants.

當時，新加坡前副總理黃循財表示，淡馬錫因FTX倒閉而遭受重創，損害了該投資公司在市場參與者的聲譽。

In May, Temasek slashed the compensation of several corporate executives who were responsible for investing in FTX and took personal responsibility for the poor investment decision.

5月，淡馬錫大幅削減了幾位負責投資FTX的企業主管的薪酬，並對錯誤的投資決策承擔個人責任。

The investment firm also conducted an internal investigation, which found no evidence of deliberate misconduct by its team members.

該投資公司還進行了內部調查，沒有發現其團隊成員故意不當行為的證據。

While the $275 million loss created a significant backlash against the state-owned investment firm, the financial shortfall represented only 0.09% of Temasek’s $293 billion assets under management at that time.

儘管2.75億美元的損失對這家國有投資公司造成了強烈的抵制，但財務缺口僅佔淡馬錫當時管理的2,930億美元資產的0.09%。

Temasek, Sequoia Capital, Softbank and other venture capital firms that invested in FTX were also hit with a class action lawsuit in August over the exchange’s collapse, with the plaintiffs arguing that these VC firms “aided and abetted” fraud at the exchange.

淡馬錫、紅杉資本、軟銀和其他投資 FTX 的創投公司也在 8 月因該交易所倒閉而遭到集體訴訟，原告稱這些創投公司「協助和教唆」了該交易所的詐欺行為。
