Blockchain Founders Fund Named Best Early-Stage Blockchain VC in APAC
Blockchain Founders Fund (BFF), a global early-stage venture capital firm focused on Web3 startups, has been recognized as the Best Early-Stage Blockchain Venture Capital Fund 2026 at the APAC Insider Singapore Business Awards. The achievement marks the third consecutive year that the firm has received recognition from the awards program, highlighting its growing influence in the blockchain investment ecosystem.
The award comes after a successful year for BFF and its portfolio companies. One of its early investments, Backed Finance, a tokenized asset platform, was acquired by cryptocurrency exchange Kraken. Another portfolio company, Roundtable (RTB Digital), successfully became a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq stock exchange. Additionally, startups such as TransFi and Kredete, both backed by BFF, surpassed eight-figure annual revenues, reflecting the commercial success of the firm’s investment strategy.
With this recognition, Blockchain Founders Fund joins a list of notable organizations previously honored by the Singapore Business Awards, including Singtel, Trust Bank, NTT, YouTrip, Antler, and Avis Budget Group for driving innovation across the Asia-Pacific region.
BFF primarily invests in pre-seed and seed-stage blockchain startups, providing not only funding but also operational support to help founders scale their businesses. The firm’s hands-on investment model assists entrepreneurs with business strategy, product positioning, go-to-market execution, strategic hiring, and fundraising, enabling startups to accelerate their growth from early development to commercial success.
