AI Reasoning: Messari and multiple press articles show Cyrus Younessi participated in the Gyroscope seed round on March 9, 2023 and in NiftyApes seed on November 1, 2022. The most recent known investment is Gyroscope on March 9, 2023, which is 1 year and nearly 8 months prior – however today’s date is November 1, 2025 meaning March 9, 2023 is more than 30 months ago. Therefore the correct classification is very-active.
