Digital Genesis Fund Launches As European Platform For Digital Infrastructure Investment

Table of Contents

The Digital Genesis Fund (DGF) has officially launched as a new European investment platform focused on real-world infrastructure for the digital age.

The fund combines institutional regulatory structures with Web3 technologies, tokenization, and artificial intelligence-driven value creation.

Structured as a Luxembourg SICAV-RAIF, the Digital Genesis Fund is designed to deploy long-term capital into infrastructure sectors where technology is enabling structural transformation of real markets.

Digital Genesis Fund Launch Introduces First Active Compartment

The fund launches with its first active compartment, MILC (Media Industry Licensing Content), an operational media infrastructure platform entering the portfolio with existing entrepreneurial development already completed.

According to the announcement shared with Ecoinimist, MILC has been pre-financed with approximately €20 million. In addition, the platform is supported by a contributed content library valued at around €35 million. This foundation is intended to support international expansion and continued infrastructure development.

MILC is designed to address challenges in the global media industry. While distribution has become borderless, value creation models remain outdated. The platform combines tokenized intellectual property, AI-supported production and distribution processes, and a global creator ecosystem. The goal is to support the transition of the creator economy from centralized Web2 systems toward open, Web3-based models.

Institutional Framework Supports Fund Structure

The Digital Genesis Fund operates within a defined European regulatory framework and is supported by a multi-layered institutional structure.

The fund is managed by 6M as Alternative Investment Fund Manager and fund advisor. Securities S.A. serves as depositary, while auditing is handled by EY. Legal structuring and advisory services are provided by DLA Piper.

The fund states that this institutional setup is designed to provide long-term stability while allowing innovation at scale.

Media Industry Experience Drives Fund Creation

The Digital Genesis Fund was initiated by Hendrik Hey, founder of Welt der Wunder. Hey brings nearly three decades of experience building large-scale media platforms and more than ten years of direct experience working with blockchain and Web3 infrastructure.
