In fact, his tryst with crypto dates back to December 2020 when Paxos\u2014 a blockchain infrastructure service provider\u2014 raised $142 million in a Series C funding. Leading the funding round was Declaration Partners, a firm that also provided investment advice to Rubenstein\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<h2>Optimistic about crypto space<\/h2>\n<p>Rubenstein said crypto-related companies have intrigued him the most, not just the project tokens.
