Dan Tapiero, a prominent figure in digital asset investment, announced the consolidation of his private equity firms, 10T Holdings and 1RoundTable Partners, into a unified entity named 50T. This rebranding aligns with Tapiero’s revised market outlook, projecting the digital asset ecosystem to achieve a staggering $50 trillion valuation within the next decade. The move underscores the accelerated growth and maturation of the blockchain sector, surpassing initial forecasts made in early 2020.
In a recent statement, Tapiero emphasized that the digital asset market’s rapid expansion, highlighted by landmark events such as Circle’s IPO and Deribit’s acquisition, validates the firm’s investment thesis that intrinsic value will increasingly reside on-chain. The 50T brand reflects a strategic pivot to capitalize on this evolution, focusing on scalable, high-impact blockchain ventures.
Complementing the rebranding, 50T is launching a $500 million growth equity fund targeting mature blockchain and Web3 infrastructure companies. This closed-end fund, with a ten-year horizon, aims to support enterprises positioned for significant market impact, with initial fundraising anticipated by Q4 2025. The fund’s portfolio already includes notable investments in Circle, Deribit, and eToro, signaling confidence in the sector’s long-term trajectory.
