This was inevitable evolution.
A lot of VCs got going off the back of liquidity events, like ICOs/airdrops and other early wins, and just doubled down on that momentum.
None of that DNA is institutional…
LPs have a higher standard, diligence is more due, and projects need smarter money, that will stay and grow the projects long term.
The majority of investors in crypto are not this pedigree.
Is crypto VC going extinct?
"No, I think it's evolving."
"If you rewind the clock back to 2021–2022, there were a lot more VCs who raised money on the idea that they were going to deploy into a crypto venture."
"And the idea was that, well, anybody can do this. You just have to sling some money around and some tokens and everything goes up automatically."
"We're in a very different world now. We're in a regime where there's not that many players that are really institutional quality, and that can really add value to a lot of these projects."
"Most of the easy money in crypto is gone now."

The African market has historically been extremely fragmented and complicated.
Not anymore.

Africa is a huge blind spot to the wold. One of the biggest hidden problems in African markets is that global companies (like Netflix) can generate revenue locally but struggle to get that capital out. While funds are trapped, local currencies can (do) depreciate. That’s why stablecoins and crypto rails matter so much

🐢 On‑chain dealflow, but curated - @turtledotxyz coordinates LPs, partners, and campaigns so projects earn durable liquidity instead of mercenary flows.
🐢 From “Summoning” TACs to vaults and embedded distribution, it’s an accrual model designed for builders and aligned LPs.

Robinhood just plugged U.S. equities into Arbitrum, turning today’s 24/5 model into round-the-clock, DeFi-compatible liquidity—and it’s not about meme markets.
🔹 This isn’t a gimmick—it’s a fundamental rethink of market access.
🔹 What happens when stocks and ETFs become programmable, composable assets?
🔹 Are these still “equities,” or the next-gen building blocks of finance?
Dive into our latest piece on how Robinhood + Arbitrum are quietly rebuilding the rails of public markets—and join the conversation. 👇
If you’re building and want to go to market with a narrative users can actually understand - DM us. We help projects craft stories that convert attention into adoption.
Fundraising has also gotten harder—even in a “topped-out” market. VCs want products with actual users, usable proof-of-concepts, and things people love to use.
