Metapurse

Metapurse operates as a crypto-fund, primarily focusing on early-stage projects within blockchain infrastructure, decentralized finance, and the burgeoning digital art and non-fungible token (NFT) sectors. The firm develops and supports initiatives that aim to tokenize significant art collections, such as the B.20 project which tokenized a renowned Beeple artwork. Their approach leverages technology to create new paradigms for asset ownership and distribution.

The fund was established in 2017 by its pseudonymous founder, Metakovan. The foundational insight stemmed from a desire to democratize access to and ownership of high-value artistic and cultural assets. Metakovan's notable acquisition of Beeple's "Everydays - The First 5000 Days" for $69.3 million underscored the firm's commitment to proving the value of digital art and fostering new ownership models.

Metapurse targets a broad audience interested in participating in the digital art economy, particularly those seeking fractionalized ownership of valuable NFTs. The company’s long-term vision centers on accelerating cultural finance by fostering an inclusive ecosystem where the intersection of art and technology can reimagine traditional ownership structures.
