Superscrypt 寻求筹集 1 亿美元资金以建立新的投资基金

Superscrypt 是一家专注于区块链和 Web3 的风险投资公司，由新加坡国有投资公司淡马锡支持，据报道，该公司正在寻求筹集 1 亿美元资金以建立一个新的投资基金。

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.

据彭博社报道，新加坡国有投资公司淡马锡正在支持区块链和 Web3 风险投资公司 Superscrypt 筹集 1 亿美元资金，以建立一个新的投资基金。

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.

该基金仍在敲定中，可能会发生变化，Superscrypt 和金融科技公司 Republic 将成为该合资企业的联合合作伙伴。

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.

淡马锡进军加密货币领域并非没有遇到挫折。 2022 年，这家国有公司在 FTX 崩溃中损失了 2.75 亿美元，成为头条新闻。

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.

这项投资分为两部分：2021 年以约 2.1 亿美元的价格收购了 FTX 1% 的股权，以及以 6500 万美元收购的独立实体 FTX US 1.5% 的少数股权。

Temasek’s crypto losses and the FTX collapse

淡马锡的加密货币损失和 FTX 崩溃

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倒闭后，淡马锡代表表示，该公司对前交易所的财务报表进行了数月的审查，并调查了潜在的监管风险，但没有发现欺诈或危险信号的迹象。

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

然而，这家国有公司在 FTX 事件中所扮演的角色引起了人们对新加坡对加密货币行业监管的关注。

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.

该交易所破产的影响导致新加坡政府执政党因未能在倒闭前准确调查该公司的风险以及未能保护投资者免受财务损失而面临公众批评。

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.

当时，新加坡前副总理黄循财表示，淡马锡因FTX倒闭而遭受重创，损害了该投资公司在市场参与者中的声誉。

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，淡马锡大幅削减了几位负责投资FTX的企业高管的薪酬，并对错误的投资决策承担个人责任。

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

该投资公司还进行了内部调查，没有发现其团队成员故意不当行为的证据。

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.

尽管2.75亿美元的损失对这家国有投资公司造成了强烈的抵制，但财务缺口仅占淡马锡当时管理的2,930亿美元资产的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.

淡马锡、红杉资本、软银和其他投资 FTX 的风险投资公司也在 8 月份因该交易所倒闭而遭到集体诉讼，原告称这些风险投资公司“协助和教唆”了该交易所的欺诈行为。
