Exploring the Greek Tech Boom: Marathon VC’s €75M Milestone

by News Editor

Marathon Venture Capital in Athens has secured a new €75 million fund, enhancing its total assets under management to €175 million. This achievement underscores significant exits like Augmenta’s $110 million valuation sale. Meanwhile, Hack the Box was partially sold to Carlyle, highlighting Marathon’s successful investment strategies.

Examining the Rise of Greek Tech Innovation

Greece’s tech scene is heating up, with Marathon VC at the forefront. Factors like emerging tech trends, including AI and robotics, have contributed to their growing success and ability to raise substantial funds even amid today’s challenging global landscape.

Navigating International Markets

Despite Greek startups traditionally focusing domestically, Marathon’s portfolio thrives by exporting services globally—a strategy resonating with major corporations like those in Fortune 500.

Adapting to Global Economic Challenges

The global challenge of fewer IPOs and extended venture holding periods hasn’t fazed Marathon. By keeping fund sizes manageable and maintaining substantial equity, they create a profitable ecosystem through strategic M&As and secondary sales.

The Future for Marathon and Greek Startups

Marathon VC remains committed to capturing unique market opportunities, championing sectors that historically received less attention from other European VCs.

SEC Drops Lawsuit Against Gemini: A Major Turning Point In Crypto Regulation

by THEFUTURE.TEAM

SEC Dismisses Legal Action Against Gemini

The Securities and Exchange Commission has formally withdrawn its lawsuit against Gemini, the prominent crypto exchange founded by twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. The move follows a joint court filing in which both the regulator and Gemini sought dismissal of the case that centered on the collapse of the Gemini Earn investment product, a debacle that left investors without access to their funds for 18 months.

Settlement And Regulatory Reassessment

In a significant development, a 2024 settlement between New York and Gemini ensured that investors recovered one hundred percent of their crypto assets loaned through the Gemini Earn program. The legal reprieve comes on the heels of actions initiated by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who accused Gemini of defrauding investors.

Political Backdrop And Industry Implications

This dismissal reinforces a broader trend of regulatory leniency toward the crypto sector noted during the Trump administration, which saw the SEC dismiss, pause, or reduce penalties in more than 60 percent of its pending crypto lawsuits. Meanwhile, Gemini’s recent public offering filing underscores its ambitions to solidify its status as a major player in the evolving digital asset market.
