“I’m a longtime member of the cryptocurrency community, an early NFT adopter, patron of the arts,” Dough told The Block.

Dough plans to raise $100 million for the NFT fund Starry Night Capital, they said. “Our thesis is simple, we believe the best way to gain exposure to the cultural paradigm shift being ushered in by NFTs is owning the top pieces from the most desired sets,” they a spus.

As part of its plans, Starry Night Capital also looks to launch a physical gallery in a “major city” by the end of this year. It also plans to launch an NFT education portal and explore ways to bring more exposure to up-and-coming artists.
