Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)

Summary

A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) is a legal entity created to isolate financial risk, specifically in the context of investments or asset management.

Detailed Description

SPVs are often used in large projects to facilitate complex financing structures, and are utilized to segregate assets into a separate entity. This ensures that if the SPV fails, the loss is contained to that entity and does not affect the parent company or the investors. In the context of web3 and crypto, SPVs can be utilized for structured investments, holding tokens, or managing legal liabilities in decentralized finance (DeFi) projects.
