Reserve was already the seventh-largest holder of Convex tokens before to the news, behind only Mochi, Redacted, JPGd, Badger, Clever, and FRAX. These tokens were obtained as a result of the protocol’s significant usage of Convex to generate yield for its users.

PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel and OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman are among those who have invested in the firm. Coinbase Ventures and the crypto giant Digital Currency Group have also invested in the company.
