Odaily News Cobie’s crypto angel investor platform Echo has completed its first transaction, with Echo users investing US$300,000 in the synthetic dollar protocol Ethena. In addition, the most recent private placement sale valued Ethena at an FDV of $600 million, but participants in the deal were able to buy at the price when Ethena was previously valued at $300 million, minus the Echo platforms 5% commission. The deal was proposed by cryptocurrency trader Ser Shokunin, who confirmed the transaction details to The Block along with BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes, family office Maelstrom and venture capital firm Dragonfly. As a first-time trade on the platform, the group will not charge additional management or holding fees.
