    • A source close to the venture fund told CoinDesk that Waterhouse "wasn’t a fit" for the firm given its current ambitions, but did not disclose additional details. He is now listed as a venture investor on LinkedIn.

    Waterhouse was one of the more visible members of the firm, speaking on behalf of the VC fund at industry conferences and events. Further, he was one of its earliest members, departing Fortress Investment Group to lead the venture in late 2013.

    The news coincides with the closure of Pantera Venture Fund II, its latest investment fund aimed at new initiatives in the industry.
