Investment capital companies remain optimistic about the cryptocurrency and startups in Blockchain in 2025, although the financing allocations have become more selective as investors give priority to the real world -world use situations that can block the gap between Web2 and Web3.
Xiao Xiao told the investment partner in the Hongkey Capital Project, based in Hong Kong, CointeleGraph that his company is still focusing on sectors such as decentral financing (Defi), games, games, and artificial intelligence.
However, Hashkey “specially behave on solutions that can block WEB2 using Web3, such as the DePin and RWA code”, referring to decentralized physical infrastructure networks and real assets (RWAS) on Blockchain.
DePin Projects, which uses Blockchains to fill the physical and digital worlds, has a size of $ 20 billion, according to DePinscan.
In 2024, DePins raised more than $ 350 million through pre -seeds, seeds and chain, according to Messari.
Meanwhile, RWAS or financial assets and other concrete assets on Blockchain reached $ 17.1 billion of cumulative value, according to RWA.XYZ. To date, private credit and US cabinet debts have emerged as the largest use of financial code.
RWAS appeared prominently in the latest version of the Roundup of Cointelegraph, with a distinctive symbol protocol, hamilton treasury, closing the pre -seed round to fill traditional financial assets with Bitcoin.
Mudar market with a more stringent selection process
Cointelegraph told Hashkey to be somewhat smooth, because “investors generally make it difficult to encrypt in the current economic environment.” This is true even among traditional conservative investors, such as family offices, which now seek to be exposed to the digital asset sector.
However, “The most challenging job is to choose projects that must be published in the capital,” said Xiao. “Due to the increasing abundance and the diversity of projects and projects projects, the selection process has become more strict.”
Although Hashkey is located in Asia, Xiao has acknowledged that the election of US President Donald Trump and the activity in Silicon Valley “generally affects the rest of the world.”
“The Trump administration can be seen as a budget wheel: it may accelerate the organization of encryption, and thus encryption activity throughout Asia,” said the CEO of Hashkey.
In general, Xiao expects a higher VC deal activity in 2025 – a view to Pitchbook, which expects encryption financing deals to $ 18 billion this year from $ 13.6 billion in 2024.
Galaxy Research said that VC financing will help through a range of low interest rates and increase organizational clarity in the United States.
“For investment capital owners, one of the biggest shifts from 2024 is” the increasing preference for projects facing the consumer over projects that focus on infrastructure, “she said, adding: adding:
“This shift refers to a maturity market where the difference in the early stage can now build the applications more efficiently, and take advantage of the applicable infrastructure and artificial intelligence developments.”
