DeFiance Capital

DeFiance Capital is a Singapore-based crypto venture fund known for hands-on mentorship, rigorous due diligence, and long-term conviction in DeFi, infrastructure, and gaming projects. They combine thesis-driven investing with institutional-grade risk management, backing early-stage protocols with detailed process requirements around tokenomics, oracles, and governance—and following through with teams across market cycles. Early backers of category-defining projects like dYdX, Axie Infinity, LayerZero, and Arbitrum, they're recognized as one of Asia's leading crypto-native funds, though their public presence has become more behind-the-scenes and less community-facing in recent years.
