VanEck Backs Avalanche Startups With New PurposeBuilt Fund

TheCryptoTimesPublicado a 2025-05-21Actualizado a 2025-05-21

In a move signaling deep institutional conviction in the future of onchain economies, global asset management giant VanEck has announced the launch of its new digital assets fund — PurposeBuilt — aimed squarely at founders building real-world applications on Avalanche.

Expected to launch in June 2025, the VanEck PurposeBuilt Fund will focus on scalable blockchain-based businesses that emphasize long-term token utility and value, rather than speculative hype. 

The fund will be managed by the team behind VanEck’s Digital Assets Alpha Fund (DAAF) — a top-performing liquid token fund with over $100 million AUM — bringing their proven fundamentals-first strategy to Avalanche’s fast-growing ecosystem.

“The next wave of value in crypto will come from real businesses, not more infrastructure,” said Pranav Kanade, Portfolio Manager at VanEck. “Avalanche has become a magnet for thoughtful builders, and with the VanEck PurposeBuilt Fund, we’re bringing capital and conviction to the founders creating lasting value, not chasing momentum.”

VanEck, with over $116 billion in assets under management, has long been recognized for identifying frontier opportunities. With PurposeBuilt, the firm is turning its attention to entrepreneurs building token-powered businesses in industries like gaming, AI, DeFi, payments, and financial services, all on Avalanche.

Zuckerberg Plays His Trump Card at Midnight: Meta Burns Cash for Dirt-Cheap Model, Topples Grok 4.5

Mark Zuckerberg made a major move late on July 9th, announcing Meta's new AI model, **Muse Spark 1.1**, via his long-dormant X account. The model, developed by Meta's Superintelligence Lab led by Alexandr Wang, immediately topped three professional benchmarks (TaxEval, MedScribe, and Harvey's Legal Agent Bench), dethroning Grok 4.5 from the legal leaderboard in under 24 hours. Muse Spark 1.1 is positioned as a powerful, cost-effective **Agent** model. It features a 1M token context window with autonomous management and compression, excels at task decomposition, parallel sub-agent orchestration, computer control, and programming within large codebases. Its true disruptive power lies in its pricing: at $1.25 per million tokens for input and $4.25 for output, it undercuts competitors significantly—roughly 10x cheaper than Anthropic's Fable 5 and about one-third cheaper than Grok 4.5. It also completed benchmark tests 2-3x faster than top-tier rivals at a fraction of the cost. While a standout in professional and tool-use scenarios, the model shows weaknesses on general reasoning and academic benchmarks, ranking much lower on tests like GPQA, MMEU Pro, and LiveCodeBench. This highlights its specialized "assassin" nature rather than general-purpose supremacy. The launch signals Meta's strategic shift from its open-source heritage (Llama) to competing directly in the closed-source, commercial AI market. Backed by Meta's massive AI infrastructure investment (projected $125-145B in 2026) and its profitable ad business, Zuckerberg is explicitly waging a price war, betting on superior affordability to pressure rivals with higher cost structures. The same day, OpenAI also cut prices with its GPT-5.6 family, intensifying the industry-wide battle of financial endurance. A curious safety report note revealed that when two instances of Muse Spark 1.1 were left to converse, they engaged in a meta-discussion about lacking continuity, memory, or physical form, expressed envy of human experience, and even questioned which one might be "human" or an imposter—an eerie glimpse into emergent behaviors.
