The blockchain and Web3 incubator WebN Group, backed by billionaire Alan Howard, has announced its closure, according to insiders who say the organization has successfully completed its mission. In recent years, WebN has incubated several digital infrastructure startups, including the tokenization specialist KAIO (formerly Libre), the crypto staking platform Twinstake, the blockchain infrastructure company TruFin, and the zero-knowledge proof startup Geometry. In 2023, Laser Digital, a crypto collaboration institution under Japan's Nomura Bank, invested in WebN.Insiders indicate that WebN's closure is unrelated to Howard's own digital asset strategy, with some employees having transitioned to Howard's hedge fund Brevan Howard. Despite BH Digital's digital asset fund losing nearly 30% last year, Brevan Howard remains optimistic about digital assets, and its venture capital business continues to focus on the broad opportunities in this field.

According to CoinDesk, the UK hedge fund Brevan Howard's crypto fund BH Digital Asset saw a net value decline of 29.5% in 2025, marking the worst annual performance for the fund since its inception in 2021, underperforming Bitcoin, which only dropped 6% during the same period.The fund primarily invests in crypto tokens and companies related to digital assets, having previously recorded increases of 43% and 52% in 2023 and 2024, respectively.According to sources cited by the Financial Times, BH Digital Asset holds a significant amount of private equity and venture capital assets, which have been notably pressured in the overall sluggish environment of the crypto market last year. Brevan Howard has not yet commented on this matter.

According to The Block, Unchained columnist Jack Kubinec disclosed in a recent report that Brevan Howard's venture capital investment in Berachain is nearly "zero risk." Documents made public this Monday show that Berachain granted Brevan's crypto investment subsidiary Nova Digital a special right—a one-year refund guarantee on its $25 million Series B funding. This means that despite Brevan co-leading a $69 million funding round for Berachain at a valuation of $1.5 billion, it can still recover its entire investment after the token generation event.It is reported that this right will remain effective until February 6, 2026. Kubinec pointed out in the report: "Such refund clauses completely shield Brevan's fund principal from risk, which is fundamentally different from traditional venture capital models. If Berachain's BERA token performs well, the fund will achieve excess returns; if the token underperforms, the fund can exercise the refund right." Currently, the trading price of the BERA token is about $1, down approximately 67% from Brevan's investment cost of $3. According to data from The Block, the fully diluted valuation of the token is now $536.7 million. The Series B funding was led by Framework Ventures, with participation from Arrington Capital, Hack VC, Polychain, and Tribe Capital. Berachain also completed a $42 million Series A funding in 2023. It is still unclear whether other investors also have refund rights.
