September 8, 2025 – Inversion, an innovative firm dedicated to acquiring and transforming traditional businesses by integrating blockchain technology, today announced the successful close of a $26.5 million Seed funding round. This significant investment values the company at $100 million and was led by Dragonfly Capital, a leading global crypto-focused investment firm. The round saw robust participation from a diverse group of prominent institutional and individual investors, underscoring strong confidence in Inversion's unique strategy to bring real-world economic activity on-chain.
Inversion's mission is to cut through the noise of speculative crypto markets by demonstrating the tangible efficiency gains and transformative power of blockchain technology in established industries. While the crypto landscape has often been associated with volatile events such as the collapses of FTX, Celsius, and Terra, Inversion highlights the overlooked truth: blockchain rails make businesses inherently more efficient. The firm points to compelling statistics, including $7 trillion in stablecoin payment volume globally in 2023, up to 75% reduction in wireless data COGS by networks like Helium, 60% reduction in settlement time for payments moved on-chain instead of wire transfers, and 1.4 billion previously unbanked individuals now banked via mobile wallets leveraging blockchain.
"We are incredibly excited to announce this seed round, which is a testament to our vision of making crypto invisible by seamlessly integrating blockchain into the backbone of traditional businesses," said a spokesperson for Inversion. "The support from Dragonfly Capital and our esteemed investors validates our approach to unlock immense value by improving efficiency, expanding ecosystems, and generating resilient economic activity on our own Inversion Chain. We extend our sincere gratitude to Haseeb Qureshi, Rob Hadick, and Omar Kanji from Dragonfly for their belief in our mission."
Inversion's distinctive model revolves around three core pillars:
- Strategic Acquisitions: Acquiring scaled, traditional core services businesses with established distribution channels and then lowering their Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) by integrating blockchain rails.
- Monetize Ecosystems: Expanding customer wallet share into fintech services by leveraging stablecoins, thereby creating new revenue streams within the acquired businesses' ecosystems.
- Own the Economy: Capturing private equity-like returns and fostering economic activity directly on the Inversion Chain, creating a self-reinforcing loop where more businesses and users drive non-speculative transaction volume, increasing ecosystem value and enabling further acquisitions.
The firm's long-term goal is to onboard one billion users onto its blockchain-powered economy, demonstrating that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" when applied to real-world problems. Inversion's iterative process involves acquiring traditional businesses, migrating their core functionalities on-chain, and building a high-value, non-speculative user base, then repeating the process.
The seed round saw participation from leading institutional investors including VanEck, ParaFi Capital, Lightspeed Faction, Wintermute Ventures, Portal Ventures, Mirana Ventures, Metalayer Ventures, Volt Capital, HashKey Capital, Race Capital, Moonrock Capital, Breed VC, Topology, Bodhi Ventures, Lvna Capital, Escape Velocity, Folius Ventures, and Comfy Capital. Prominent individual investors such as Balaji Srinivasan, Mike Dudas, Bryan Pellegrino, Jason Yanowitz, Andrew Steinwold, DCF God, Joshua Lim, and Casey K. Caruso also contributed to the round.
This capital infusion will enable Inversion to accelerate its acquisition strategy, enhance its technological infrastructure, and expand its team of experts dedicated to building the future of efficient, blockchain-powered commerce.
