Frankfurt am Main, 14 November 2023 - tokentus investment AG ("tokentus",
ISIN: DE000A3CN9R8; WKN: A3CN9R; Symbol: 14D), based in Frankfurt am Main,
has invested USD 1 million as a limited partner in the newly launched
Lightspeed Faction Fund I. According to the fund, it focuses on investments
in the form of equity and tokens in Seed and Series A rounds of companies in
the cryptocurrency and blockchain technology sectors. The total fund volume
amounts to USD 285 million.

"As a joint venture with Lightspeed Venture Partners, we offer a unique
blend of two worlds: crypto expertise paired with deep Silicon Valley roots
and business scaling resources," said the management of Lightspeed Faction
Fund I. Sam Harrison, Managing Partner of the fund, is a Senior Advisor for
the blockchain sector at Lightspeed Venture Partners and formerly co-founder
of Blockchain.com Ventures. Banafsheh Fathieh, General Partner of the fund,
is also an advisor for the blockchain sector at Lightspeed Venture Partners
and former Head of Investments at Prosus Ventures. Lightspeed Venture
Partners has offices in six countries on three continents and, through its
global presence, claims to have a large co-investor network with a strong
track record in blockchain and crypto investments.

Lightspeed Faction Fund I's early-stage investments are described as
focusing on three areas, namely (1) developer infrastructure for protocols,
middleware, and tokenisation, (2) financial services, both DeFi and CeFi,
and (3) Web3 infrastructure including gaming, NFTs and metaverse.

"With this investment, tokentus is indirectly gaining access to a portfolio
of very promising, early-stage investments in the blockchain space. As
tokentus, we tend to invest directly in growth or later stage. In our
opinion, this closes an important and strategic gap in our market coverage,"
says Oliver Michel, CEO of tokentus investment AG. "With Faction, we believe
we have found a very experienced and well-known founding and management team
that could help us to sustainably expand our important network in the
international blockchain investor scene," says Benedikt Schulz, Investment
Manager at tokentus. "We at tokentus also assume that we will be able to
invest in an interesting target through and with Faction on several
occasions," adds Mona Tiesler, Investment Manager at tokentus.
