A female-founded merchant bank in Singapore is quietly wiring together capital, regulators and non-dilutive grants to push quantum, climate and brain-health science out of the lab - and it is measuring the results in billions mobilized, not just term sheets signed.
Metaversal is a Miami-based Web3-native merchant bank for the digital culture economy. Founded in 2021 by Yossi Hasson and Daniel Schmerin, it acquires and builds around blue-chip NFT intellectual property and now originates NFT-backed art loans and on-chain GPU financing tied to the AI compute buildout. Backed by a $50M Series A led by CoinFund and Foxhaven, the firm sits at the intersection of NFTs, lending, and AI infrastructure.
