Flying Tulip project by Andre Cronje raised $200M
Tulip is the first early-stage investment in 3 years for a seed round and the third ever.
The project plans to raise a total of $1B at a $1B valuation. Uniqueness: Not in the product, but in a novel fundraising type – unseen before.
Flying Tulip raises capital via FT token sales. $1B treasury in low-risk DeFi (~4% yield, $40M/year) funds ops until exchange profits from fees (spot, perps, options, lending, structured yield).
FT tokens backed by perpetual put option = downside protection + upside.
📌 How it works:
- You buy FT at $1 public sale.
- If drops to $0.70 → redeem for $1 back (no loss).
- If rises to $2 → sell for 2x profit.
Enables bootstrap without quick devaluation, focus on long-term success.

Ethereum Closed Q3 2025 With a 66.7% Price Gain
Q3 2025 was a breakout quarter for Ethereum. ETH finally took out its previous ATH and posted strong upside.

Since Ethereum remains the base layer for both, it naturally became one of the biggest winners of this regulatory shift.
