The threshold for encrypted VC financing has been significantly raised, and 2026-2027 may become strong investment years

The field of crypto venture capital is undergoing a structural transformation. Investors generally require startup projects to have real users and revenue before they are willing to invest; the era of easy financing in the early stages has ended. The reliability of token models as an exit strategy has significantly decreased, and token issuances with low liquidity and high valuations continue to underperform the market, leading investors to revert to traditional equity thinking.

At the same time, the rise of the AI sector has captured a large amount of LP funds and entrepreneurial talent, making fundraising for crypto VC even more challenging. However, several investors have pointed out that the current competition is decreasing, valuations are becoming more reasonable, and the regulatory environment is improving. It is expected that 2026-2027 will become the strongest investment years since 2018. In the future, funds will focus on areas with clear business models such as stablecoins, payments, tokenization, real-world assets, and financial infrastructure, and the boundaries between crypto VC and traditional VC will accelerate their convergence.
