Additionally, PHD Capital holds various blue-chip NFT projects like Bored Apes and Crypto Punks, supporting new and upcoming startup projects through its incubator program that provides funding and advisory services. Security is a paramount concern for PHD Capital. The majority of the crypto assets managed are held in secure ledger hardware wallets by the fund managers. Multi-signature wallet solutions, operated by GnosisSafe, are implemented to enhance security. A small portion of assets is held on leading exchanges such as FTX and Binance for trading purposes. This comprehensive approach ensures the safety and integrity of the fund's investments in the rapidly evolving Web3 landscape.
