Now’s the time to get ready for the next bull run now.Īt some point (I expect around Dec 2024/Jan 2025 if history is a guide) BTC will surpass $69k again and ETH will surpass $4800 – and the current capital allocators in the sector will look very smart. Good times in our industry tend to return every four years – for about 18 months. We’re starting to turn the corner in crypto VC investing as we gear up for the April 2024 Bitcoin halving and the likely resulting 2025 crypto bull market. The crypto VC capital market isn’t just surviving, it is thriving compared to past downturns and is poised for a big comeback in 2024/2025. The digital assets industry is maturing – and we’re seeing much more institutional capital stick around this time. So even though the bear is here at the moment, there’s still 3x as much capital going around as last time. When you zoom out and look at the bigger picture, there is currently 3.1x more venture capital currently (Jan/Feb 2023) being invested into companies compared to this same time four years ago (Jan/Feb 2019) during the last bear market. This doesn’t even count the amount being invested into tokens by venture firms. This means that even in our lowest bear market moments, we’re still seeing over $25M per weekday invested into crypto/blockchain company equity by venture capital firms (and around $45M per weekday currently ). In February 2023 there was $872 million in venture capital invested in crypto/blockchain firms, up 52% from $574 million in January 2023. New crypto VC investment in Q4 2022 ($2.5B) was 77% lower than Q1 2022 ($11.2B) – but we’ve turned the corner and we’re now heading back up.
