Jordan Fish, the popular crypto trader better known as Cobie, has joined crypto investment firm Paradigm as an advisor.
“He’s always been one of my favorite people in crypto to chat with, so excited to make it official,” Paradigm cofounder Matt Huang said Friday in a post on X. “Someday we can convince him to restart UpOnly.”
Cobie is the founder of Echo, a platform that allows retail investors and crypto community members access to early-stage funding rounds on similar terms to those offered to venture capitalists. It has been used for raises for projects such as MegaETH, Initia, Ethena, and Fogo, The Block previously reported.
“We just want to make stuff so that people can fund decentralised projects without selling most of it to one or two entities,” Cobie told The Block in February. “Fundraising happens at various stages of a projects lifecycle and we currently only cover the really early stages. There isn’t [in my opinion] a very good way to do a launch sale today.”
Onchain sleuth ZachXBT joined the firm in February as an incident response advisor. White hat crypto hacker “samczsun” previously joined Paradigm Fund in 2020 as a research partner.
“About ten seconds ago, @paradigm have opened an Echo group, which I am pretty pleased about, and I have simultaneously agreed to advise Paradigm — mostly helping with their public market/liquid fund,” Cobie said Friday in a post on X. “I didn’t even know Paradigm had a public market fund until yesterday. Will spend some time figuring out which coin I should try to make Matt topblast first.”
The research-driven Paradigm recently led a $50 million Series A round for decentralized AI project Nous Research.
