Multimillionaire Dan Tapiero sets sights on a potential $50 trillion fortune within the blockchain sector
In a bold move signifying the accelerated maturation of the blockchain space, Dan Tapiero has announced the launch of a new $500 million growth equity fund, 50T. The fund is aimed at mature blockchain firms with sustainable models and a focus on scalable Web3 solutions.
Tapiero, a well-known figure in the digital asset industry, predicts that the market capitalization of the digital asset landscape could surge to an astounding $50 trillion within the next decade, significantly expanding from his earlier $10 trillion 10-year projection. This bullish outlook is driven by a transformative shift of real-world value to blockchain, maturing infrastructure and adoption milestones, regulatory clarity fostering institutional participation, and the scalable potential of Web3 solutions to underpin this evolving financial landscape.
The new entity, 50T, has been formed by the merger of Tapiero's previous firms, 10T Holdings and 1RoundTable Partners. This consolidation aims to sharpen the firm's ability to identify high-potential projects in a consolidating market environment.
The fund, structured as a closed-end vehicle with a ten-year investment horizon, supports businesses that have demonstrated operational strength, scalability, and alignment with the evolving digital economy. This structure offers both flexibility and focus in supporting ventures prepared to scale and sustain long-term growth amid increasing competition and investor scrutiny.
Tapiero's investment thesis focuses on businesses addressing scalability, security, and interoperability challenges for blockchain's integration into mainstream systems. Early positions within the fund include strategic stakes in Circle, Deribit, and eToro, platforms that can drive the next wave of institutional and retail engagement across digital asset markets.
Recent developments such as Circle's move toward a public listing and the acquisition of Deribit are viewed by Tapiero as milestones pointing to deeper on-chain value creation. These advancements, along with regulatory progress in the U.S., are seen as key catalysts for the long-term growth of digital assets.
The emergence of 50T and its fund launch align with the growing recognition of enterprise-grade blockchain solutions and the solidification of DeFi as a structural element of the digital economy. Analysts view this development as indicative of the industry's increasing institutionalization and long-term viability.
However, achieving the $50 trillion market valuation is dependent on favorable macroeconomic conditions, global regulatory alignment, and continued improvement in public perception of digital assets.
