BOSTON, MA & DUBLIN, IRELAND – Tuesday, December 10th, 2024: COSIMO Ventures, a pioneer in blockchain and digital asset innovation, today unveiled its rebranding as COSIMO digital, consolidating its broad spectrum of unique services under a single, unified visionary brand. Today, they also announced a key funding round of $25 million, targeting strategic partners for expansion and growth in this rapidly developing market.
Leading the raise is Des Mac Intyre, Eolas Capital, former CEO of Mellon Investments Corporation and Senior Executive at Bridgewater Associates, where he worked directly with Ray Dalio. His investment management experience spans more than three decades and he brings this expertise to COSIMO digital to support and drive this strategic raise.

We were also a key driving force in Black Manta, a tokenized securities leader that bridges traditional finance and digital asset innovation across the EU and Asia. We are a founding investor in Fortuna, an Ireland-registered VASP offering secure and compliant custody and treasury solutions across 27 EU countries, and are launching a Layer2, Web3 platform for the creator economy - npayme. Now was the right time to bring it all under one unified visionary identity, COSIMO digital”.
