Hashed Anchored 300 Million Dollar Digital Asset Private Credit Fund

The cryptocurrency venture capital firm Hashed has anchored a new digital asset private credit fund with a target size of $300 million. The fund was founded by Abu Dhabi investor and Further Ventures co-founder Mohamed Hamdy, and is managed by Thoro Capital Management, where he serves as managing partner.

Thoro will lend directly to digital asset institutions in US dollars settled through stablecoins, with Hashed acting as the primary investor in the fund. Hashed stated that the new fund aims to address key financing bottlenecks in the institutional digital asset space—traditional banks are constrained by regulatory capital requirements, while existing crypto lenders underwrite based on asset collateral, which forces even profitable and audited market infrastructure companies to rely on expensive, short-term secured borrowing.

The fund adopts a "contract-based" underwriting approach, assessing borrowers' financial conditions, cash flows, and management performance. Hashed noted that tokenized private credit has become the largest real-world asset (RWA) category by cumulative on-chain lending, with total loans exceeding $14 billion, while the traditional private credit market exceeds $30 trillion. Previously, Hashed obtained a financial services license issued by the Abu Dhabi Global Market and signed a memorandum of understanding with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office last week.
