Thanks for the highlight @faraj_abut !!
Today in #TheBuildersAroundUs, we’re featuring Kenetic Capital — a Hong Kong–founded family office with Asian roots and a global reach, driving blockchain innovation. @KeneticCapital
Who they are
Kenetic is a family office focused on digital assets and blockchain startups. Its founder entered crypto back in 2013, co-founded the Bitcoin Association of Hong Kong in January 2014, and launched the Ethereum HK Meetup in March 2014 — the very first Ethereum meetup in Asia. Since then, Kenetic has invested in 350+ projects, combining early conviction, capital, and community-building to help founders scale globally.
What they’re building
• Community growth — Kenetic co-organized the “NIFTY” hackathon with partners like Coinbase, OKX, and Decentraland, nurturing the next generation of Web3 builders.
• Strong portfolio — seed investors in Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, Render, Worldcoin, Zilliqa, 0x, OmiseGo, ICON, Ripple, Bitcoin, Zcash, and hundreds of other high-impact projects across DeFi, scalability, and payments.
• DeFi infrastructure — as a key investor in CrossCurve MetaLayer (formerly EYWA), Kenetic supports a unified cross-chain liquidity and yield protocol built on Curve, powering the next generation of decentralized finance.
What makes them stand out
• Pioneers since 2013 — recognized blockchain’s potential early, backing protocols that grew into industry leaders.
• Global reach — rooted in Asia, but investing and supporting projects worldwide.
• Ecosystem builders — from co-founding the Bitcoin Association of HK to hosting Ethereum’s first meetup in Asia, Kenetic has been actively growing the crypto community since the very beginning.
Why they matter
Kenetic’s impact goes beyond investment — it’s about building the foundations of the blockchain economy. By supporting over 350 projects that tackle scalability, security, and financial inclusion, and by seeding many of today’s most influential protocols, Kenetic continues to shape the long-term future of Web3.

@KeneticCapital investment thesis on @Duck_Chain/$DUCK:
I ♥️@ton_blockchain but it's a very challenging platform for developers. To enable faster short/med-term app development/developer onboarding, the right EVM L2 is inevitable and net positive for TON. Enter @Duck_Chain.

Welcome @Duck_Chain to the @KeneticCapital family!
Congrats to @ton_blockchain EVM L2 @Duck_Chain on a great raise! One of @KeneticCapital's key beliefs is the need for a strong EVM L2 on TON to jumpstart Defi and make it simpler/safer for web3's top EVM apps to come over. Can't wait for Duckchain's launch to empower TON!
Very excited to back @eywaprotocol alongside @newmichwill and @k06a to revolutionize cross-chain liquidity using @CurveFinance. We love the team's humble no-hype approach to building tech and TVL! Onward!! 🚀🚀🚀
