Beyond the Hype: Crypto’s Next Phase | Roundup

Bell Curve

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **Market Bifurcation:** Expect continued divergence – select assets might surge on squeezed supply, but most face headwinds without new buyers. Stay nimble.
  2. **Efficiency is King:** Capital is scarcer. Projects must prove lean operations and clear value accrual compared to TradFi alternatives to win funding.
  3. **Transparency Unlocks Capital:** Don't wait for regulation. Proactive, standardized disclosure of financials, token flows, and operations will attract sophisticated investors and build desperately needed trust.
