What Metaversal does

Metaversal (legal entity: Metaversal Ventures, Inc.) is a Miami-based private company founded in 2021 that operates as a merchant bank for the digital culture economy, offering financial products at the intersection of AI and Web3. The company was originally established as an NFT-focused investment firm and subsequently expanded into a multi-product merchant bank model. Its product portfolio comprises ETH Yield, an NFT-collateralized ETH liquidity pool offering 5.95% APY (7.01% early-adopter bonus for the first 2,000 ETH) with a 90-day lock period and multisig custody; GPU Yield, targeting up to 15% APY backed by enterprise-grade GPU hardware leased to AI companies; the Crown Jewels Vault, providing institutional-grade access to rare blue-chip NFTs; and a Capital/Investments service line offering equity, debt, and structured financing to Web3 and AI companies.

Metaversal's underlying technology combines blockchain-based financial infrastructure (DeFi protocols, multisig custody) with tokenized real-world assets (NFTs and physical GPU hardware). Revenue mechanics span subscription-style yield spreads on liquidity pools, usage-based fees from GPU leasing to AI counterparties, and transaction-style fees from capital and structured investment services. Pricing is disclosed in yield terms rather than fees, and all yield products currently operate on a waitlist-based launch model. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the company's website (metaversal.gg), targeting both retail and institutional investors globally, with no intermediary channels disclosed.

The company is backed by a $50 million Series A (January 2022) led by CoinFund and Foxhaven Asset Management, alongside an approximately $17.8 million SEC exempt offering in late 2021, with participation from 16+ institutional and strategic investors including Franklin Templeton, Digital Currency Group, Galaxy, Dapper Labs, Rarible, Spartan Group, and Theta Capital. Headcount is reported at 11-50 employees. Leadership consists of co-founders Yossi Hasson (CEO) and Daniel Schmerin (President). No revenue, AUM, or TVL figures have been disclosed in public materials.

Direct peers

• NFTfi: NFTfi is one of the largest NFT-collateralized lending protocols, allowing borrowers to obtain loans by pledging NFTs as collateral. It is the closest direct peer to Metaversal's ETH Yield product, competing for the same NFT-backed credit use case.
• Arcade: Arcade is a DeFi lending protocol purpose-built for NFT-backed loans with bundle collateral and institutional features. It overlaps directly with Metaversal's NFT-collateralized credit thesis and competes for institutional NFT liquidity providers.
• Maple Finance: Maple is an institutional crypto credit marketplace offering undercollateralized lending and structured yield products to funds and market makers. It shares Metaversal's merchant-bank-meets-DeFi positioning and structured-yield orientation.
• Rarible: Rarible is a leading NFT marketplace and a strategic partner of Metaversal. It competes for NFT liquidity and aggregation in the same blue-chip NFT segments Metaversal's Crown Jewels Vault and ETH Yield product target.
• Dapper Labs: Dapper Labs (NBA Top Shot, Flow blockchain) is a strategic partner of Metaversal and a major NFT infrastructure provider. It overlaps with Metaversal in NFT-backed financial products and digital-culture investment themes.

Emerging players

• Pendle Finance: Pendle is a DeFi protocol for tokenizing and trading yield, allowing users to split fixed-yield and variable-yield exposure. It represents an alternative yield-construction approach that competes for the same yield-seeking crypto capital Metaversal targets.
• Figure Technologies: Figure is a blockchain-enabled consumer and commercial lending platform that tokenizes real-world assets into yield-bearing instruments. It parallels Metaversal's RWA-tokenization and merchant-bank thesis but operates in regulated mortgage and HELOC markets.

Broad incumbents

• Galaxy Digital: Galaxy is a full-service digital assets merchant bank offering trading, asset management, custody, and investment banking. It is both an investor in Metaversal and the most direct analog of Metaversal's merchant-bank-plus-yield strategy at much greater scale.
• CoinFund: CoinFund is a crypto-native investment firm and lead Series A investor in Metaversal. Its multi-strategy approach across venture, liquid tokens, and staking overlaps with Metaversal's merchant-bank and yield-product model.
• Aave: Aave is the largest decentralized lending protocol and a benchmark for yield-bearing DeFi products. While not NFT-native, it competes broadly for crypto yield-seeking capital that could otherwise flow into Metaversal's ETH Yield product.
