Top Gems in Paradigm’s Portfolio

Everyone knows that in today’s crypto market, Tier-1 VCs play a huge role.

Projects backed by top funds like @Multicoin, @Polychai, or @YZi Labs often end up outperforming or seeing massive growth.

But personally, one of my favorite funds and the one I actively track for opportunities is: @Paradigm

Paradigm is one of the leading global investment firms focused on crypto, blockchain, and frontier technologies.

– $12.5B+ AUM

– ~8.5x private ROI

That’s exactly why I’ve been actively hunting for gems within their portfolio. Here are a few standout picks you should look into:

1/ @MetaDAOProject - $META

Alongside https://t.co/k3MFu0Xkfw, #MetaDAO is one of the leading ICM platforms on Solana, acting as a launchpad for: DeFi, Infrastructure and AI projects.

Paradigm entered an OTC deal with MetaDAO on Oct 28, 2025,when $META was at a $120M market cap meaning current levels are only ~1.5x above their entry.

MetaDAO has already seen successful ICOs like:

– $AVICI

– $UMBRA

– $SOLO

While things have slowed recently due to market conditions, I still see MetaDAO as a key piece of the Solana ecosystem that could re-accelerate strongly.

2/ @BabylonLabs - $BABY

Babylon is the first native Bitcoin staking protocol, allowing BTC holders to:

→ Stake directly on Bitcoin

→ Secure Proof-of-Stake networks

– 26,070 BTC staked (~$1.94B TVL)

Despite being a leader in BTCFi, $BABY is still down 90%+ from its ATH.

But here’s my thesis:

– Babylon is a Tier-1 BTC infrastructure project

– Strong execution track record

– Backed by Paradigm

With ~$1.9B TVL still leading native BTC staking,the upside could be significant as BTCFi matures in 2026–2027.

Tracking smart money like Paradigm isn’t about blindly following. It’s about:

– Identifying where conviction is highest.

– Finding undervalued narratives early.

– Positioning before the market catches up.

If you’re serious about long-term plays, start paying attention to where the best VCs are placing their bets.
