Crypto venture capital firm Multicoin Capital announced that co-founder and managing partner Kyle Samani will be gradually stepping back from the company's day-to-day operations. Co-founder Tushar Jain stated that Samani's interests have expanded beyond crypto to cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, longevity technologies, and robotics, leading him to dedicate more time to exploring these emerging technologies. Kyle Samani gained widespread attention for his early investment in Solana and has been a significant voice in the industry for many years, actively promoting several sectors including DePIN and co-founding Forward, a digital asset vault company with Solana as its core asset. He also introduced core concepts related to Solana's performance, such as IBRL (Increase Bandwidth, Reduce Latency). Samani stated that leaving Multicoin was a "bittersweet" decision, but he will continue to invest in the crypto industry in his personal capacity and advocate for the Solana ecosystem.
