Kyle Samani, co-founder of crypto investment firm Multicoin Capital, is stepping down from his role as managing director, he announced Wednesday in a post on X.

Samani said he’s taking time off and “exploring other areas of technology,” but made clear he’s not walking away from crypto entirely. “While I’ll be stepping away professionally from the industry, I will continue to make personal investments in the space,” he wrote.
He also pointed to the potential impact of U.S. crypto legislation in development, particularly the Clarity Act, a bill designed to provide legal definitions for crypto assets. “I believe the Clarity Act will unlock a tidal wave of new entrants and spur adoption unlike anything we’ve seen,” he wrote.
Samani did not say what his next role would be or when he might return to the industry. As of now, Multicoin has not named a replacement. Co-managing partners Tushar Jain and Brian Smith are currently running the firm's day-to-day operations.
Founded in 2017, Multicoin quickly gained visibility for backing projects like Solana SOL$92.44 and HNT$0.9109 before they became widely known. It operates across both venture capital and liquid token markets, setting it apart from traditional VC firms.
Samani says he will remain as chairman at Solana treasury company Forward Industries (FWDI) and is requesting in-kind redemption in FWDI shares and warrants from the Multicoin Master Fund, rather than cash.

Frank Sinatra performs on his TV special Frank Sinatra: A Man and his Music Bettmann Archive These days on the Billboard charts, Frank Sinatra’s music can always be found on the jazz-specific rankings. While the art he created when he was still working was pop at the time, and later classified as traditional pop, there is no such list for the latter format in America, and so his throwback projects and cuts appear on jazz lists instead. It’s on those charts where Sinatra rebounds this week, and one of his popular projects returns not to one, but two tallies at the same time, helping him increase the total amount of real estate he owns at the moment.

That set rebounds to No. 15 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart and comes in at No. 20 on the all-encompassing Jazz Albums ranking after not appearing on either roster just last frame.

The set climbed all the way to No. 15 on the Jazz Albums tally and has now spent just under two months on the rosters. Frank Sinatra’s Album With Classic Hits Sinatra released The World We Knew in the summer of 1967. The title track, which on the album is actually known as “The World We Knew (Over and…
