Revenue model

1. Investment management fees on regulatory AUM: ParaFi Capital LP is an SEC-registered investment adviser that charges asset-based management fees on regulatory assets under management (RAUM) as defined in Form ADV Part 2A, plus likely performance/incentive fees on funds managed for institutional investors. Combined regulatory AUM and other managed assets total approximately $1.9B-$2B as of March 31, 2026.
2. Venture fund management fees and carry: ParaFi launched Venture Fund III with $125 million in commitments; combined with a separate $325 million raise for digital asset investment strategies, the firm raised $450 million since early 2025. These closed-end venture and liquid strategy vehicles generate management fees during the investment period and performance carry on realizations.
3. Direct token/strategic investment gains: ParaFi makes strategic direct token investments (e.g., $35 million in Jupiter's JUP token, settled in JupUSD) as part of its multi-strategy approach, generating P&L and governance rights.
