According to The Block, Panther Hollow Ventures, co-founded by former CFTC attorneys Eric Swartz and Jacqueline Escobar, has officially launched its multi-strategy merchant bank. The firm combines venture capital, liquidity yield strategies, and protocol incubation under one roof.
The merchant bank will focus on promoting traditional finance (TradFi) interest rates and derivatives protocols across four blockchains: Ethereum, Canton, Solana, and Starknet.
