It's the same press release, payed PR, without any confirmation from Pantera. The reason I checked it out is that I know Pantera Capital and I know they won't invest in smokes and mirrors. This is why I recommend you to wait till an official confirmation comes from Pantera, otherwise you're gonna have a bad time.
By the way, I can pay for PR's and I can write whatever I want there, I learned this the hard way back in 2013 when all this bullshit coins and ICO's invaded our crypto world, losing a good bunch of money.
I know that you are experienced and know what you are doing but there are a lot of new, fresh people here who will only look at a legendary member and that would be enough for them to throw money to a shady scheme.
Good luck, guys, I really hope you do your due diligence before investing.
Really? You know they won't invest in ICO's? That's funny because Pantera has set up a 100M USD fund to invest in ICO's in case you didn't know. And why would they lie about this? That would be bad PR.
Oh and if you didn't read the article, Krug was quoted saying that they're def investing in Maecenas:
“Tokenizing existing asset classes that are currently illiquid is a great application of blockchain tech,” Joey Krug, Pantera’s co-chief investment officer, said. “The art market is a perfect one to tackle first because it has extremely high fees on both sides (approaching 50% of the artwork if you combine them), very little liquidity, high barriers to entry, and less implementation issues than say tokenizing real estate.”
“We are thrilled to have Pantera Capital as investors and partners. Their excellent reputation and vast experience helping blockchain startups grow, combined with their extensive network worldwide is going to be instrumental in helping Maecenas be successful,” Maecenas CEO Marcelo Garcia Casil said. “We are delighted to have the support of Pantera Capital’s team and we very much look forward to the exciting journey ahead of us.”
