  • While some see the current market depletion as a means of taking "risk avoidance" posture, others see other bear market conditions as an opportunity
  • The "picking and shoveling" of the Web3 and Defi infrastructure, including gateways such as wallets and stock exchanges, are still the focus of funds such as 10t Holdings

If you take a look at the crypto industry, the participants will be forgiven when they think that several sectors, including Defi and Web3, are in difficulties.

In view of the shaken trust for private and institutional actors-spurred on the tornness of crypto loan allocation-the use of capital is not without inherent risks at a time.

The regulation promises to tighten the controls about how crypto capital is used, used and used, although according to some more has to be done to protect investors.

The consideration of a global macroeconomic lens also emphasizes less promising signs of early relaxation in the broader markets, namely shares that are often correlated closely with crypto.

The consequence of the pandemic - tightened by Russia's invasion in Ukraine - as well as the increasing inflation and the leverage of interest rates through the central banks to combat them, has only reinforced the arguments for a "risky" environment.

In fact, the investments in the capital market of crypto have slowed down because the money that had flowed into aspiring projects in the fourth quarter of the last quarter of this year.

Although for some, such as Stan Miroshnik, partner at 10T Holdings, a investment company in the middle to late phase that focuses on digital assets, still "unique opportunities" for investments in the market and gradually reverse.

"We are just seeing that interesting deals will come back on the market for more sensible reviews," said Miroshnik in an interview with Blockworks.

Others in the investor sector for crypto have also increased their efforts to try to build, draw or promote a web3 and defi infrastructure in the middle of bear market conditions, in the hope of making greater profits in better times.

The crypto investment company Multicoin Capital, which supported several web3 and decentralized financial projects, announced at the beginning of this month that it would put another $ 430 million in crypto startups.

In order to continue this trend, the early phase investment company Konvoy has put on a 150 million dollar fund that is aimed at aspiring gambling companies that concentrate on a number of industries, including web3, while the risk capital and incubation low in Binance closed its $ 500 million funds at the beginning of June.

Most risk capital companies and funds rely on the transition of the Internet to a more decentralized and democratized version of the exchange of information and engagement, including the tools and the infrastructure, which is promising for decentralized financing.

The discussions of those who develop these important infrastructure rails in the industry are now focusing on building a less foaming market after the crypto loan from the implosion of the Hedge fund Arrows Capital based in Singapor.

"Every time there is an important event, you can watch and learn," said Bette Chen, co-founder of the Defi-Layer-1-Smart-Contract platform Acala, Blockworks in a separate interview. "This is a moment when you can see how problems are uncovered, and for builders, these are actually opportunities in which you can build strong systems."

They are companies like Acala that continue to improve the shortcomings in industrial sectors - including Defi and Web3 - in which Miroshnik and others are most interested.

The co-founder of 10t said that his fund watches many blue chip names, including Fireblocks, OpenSea, Dapper Labs, Alchemy and Chainalysis, which in his opinion previously acted on the basis of several income where they were traded 50 times the overall sales of the company.

"Now these reviews are falling on the secondary market. And so you could theoretically buy some of these blue chip names for more sensible reviews," he said.

10T, like other funds in the industry, approaches their assetics by using capital in four industries, including NFTS and meta-verse, defi infrastructure, gateways such as wallets and stock exchanges, as well as companies that use a token incentive engine for such real application cases in the decentralized wireless network.

When asked about the short to medium-term prospects of the fund, Miroshnik said: "The money is not waiting, not trading" and gives private investors and institutional investors who want to pursue the capital of some of the largest funds in the industry in step.

"If you go deeper and want to go into these vertical bets, you are already clear leader," said the co -founder. "You don't have to buy the new Gamefi token. Ideally, you just buy something where you know that there is already a lot of momentum."
