Fenbushi Capital Feels the Chill: Crypto Winter Bites with $5.14 Million Loss
Even seasoned crypto investors aren't immune to the bear market blues. Fenbushi Capital, one of the industry's oldest and most respected venture capital firms, recently disclosed a $5.14 million loss from selling off a portion of its crypto holdings.
Portfolio Purge:
According to a recent financial report, Fenbushi offloaded assets in two tranches:
January 2023:Â The firm sold an undisclosed amount of crypto, resulting in a $1.4 million loss.March 2023:Â A larger sale followed, leading to a more substantial $3.74 million loss.
Strategic Move or Distress Signal?
While the exact reasons behind the sale remain under wraps, several factors could be at play:
Bear Market Pressures:Â The prolonged crypto winter has put a dent in portfolio valuations across the board, and Fenbushi may be feeling the heat.Liquidity Concerns:Â Venture capital firms need cash on hand to fund new investments and cover operational expenses. Selling crypto holdings could be a way to shore up liquidity during lean times.Portfolio Rebalancing:Â Fenbushi may be strategically adjusting its holdings, taking profits on some assets while doubling down on others they believe in for the long term.
Industry Impact:
Fenbushi's losses serve as a stark reminder that even the savviest investors are navigating a challenging market. The news could further dampen sentiment in an already skittish market, potentially leading to further sell-offs.
The Bigger Picture:
Despite the recent losses, Fenbushi remains a major player in the crypto VC space. The firm has a long track record of successful investments and continues to deploy capital into promising blockchain startups.
Key Takeaway:
Fenbushi's experience underscores the inherent volatility of the crypto market. Even seasoned investors can experience losses, highlighting the importance of risk management, diversification, and a long-term perspective.

How has VCsâ interest in crypto evolved?
In the early days of crypto venture capital, around 2012 to 2017, the landscape was defined by a sense of both wild optimism and uncertainty. VC firms were drawn to the untapped potential of blockchain technology, often investing in networks that promised transformative solutions but lacked substantial frameworks to bring these visions to life.
At this stage, investors frequently prioritized projects based on their potential for explosive growth, overlooking business metrics or the viability of the technology they were producing. The due diligence process was relatively minimal, leading to heightened volatility and, in some cases, project downfalls, even those that garnered substantial funding.
Market excitement led to a culture of speculation, where investments were sometimes made on a gut feeling rather than a thorough analysis of the technology stack or market fit.
This environment attracted not just seasoned VC funds and investors but newcomers eager to participate in what seemed like a gold rush. As a result, projects and networks emerged with ambitious whitepapers and unrealistic promises. Yet few had the expertise and guidance to deliver on their claims.Â
As the markets matured, the shortcomings of early VC strategies became clear. To save face, many marquee VC firms that had only dipped their toes into blockchain quickly pulled out of the industry altogether. However, this paved the way for a more cautious and strategic approach focusing on real-world applications, infrastructure, and emerging technologies that provided a sense of stability and sustainability to the crypto market.Â
This shift reflects a broader trend in VC funding where investors increasingly evaluate what a project and network can provide beyond a concrete product or solution. Societal and environmental impact are becoming more important to VCs as they aim to support blockchain projects that bring communities together.

Crypto Fundraising vs Total Market Cap đ
Is there a link between crypto primary and secondary markets?
In the crypto context, the #fundraising market is often considered the "Primary Market" where fundraising events take place, while the Total Market Cap (TOTAL) can be associated with the "Secondary Market" reflecting the aggregate value of trading crypto assets.
Analysis confirms a correlation, but it's modest (r=0.29)
â This suggests that fundraising metrics may not be reliable in predicting short-term market trends.
Our key takeaways:
⯠It appears that the Total Market Cap influences fundraising activities, not the other way around (seen in Jan vs Mar & Sep & Nov).
⯠Sideways markets align with low fundraising â Both projects and #VCs may not be confident in raising/investing until receiving certain market confirmation.
⯠VCs tend to remain cautious during uncertain market sentiment but always stay alert for market upticks (seen in Oct & Nov).

Binance Listing Report: VC Backing vs. Price Performance
A recent report by crypto researcher Flow analyzed the performance of tokens listed on Binance. Interestingly, the report found that only 5 out of 31 tokens listed on the exchange maintained their price gains after listing, despite many being backed by top-tier venture capital firms and launching with high valuations.
However, the report also highlighted some outliers. Several tokens that did not have major venture capital backing, such as ORDI, JUP, WIF, JTO, and MEME, showed surprising resilience. Over the past six months, these tokens experienced significant gains, with ORDI rising by approximately 262%, JTO by 62%, JUP by 58%, WIF by 117%, and MEME by 8.5%.
This suggests that VC backing may not be the sole guarantee of a token's success. It's important to conduct thorough research before investing in any cryptocurrency, regardless of its listing platform or VC backing.

Meme Coins vs. Venture Hype: A Battle for Investor Attention
While meme coins grab headlines, a bigger story might be brewing. Are we seeing a flood of VC-backed "tech" coins designed for a quick exit, not long-term value?
These projects often shill massive future valuations (FDVs) with tiny user bases and questionable tech. Investors are growing wary of this "200 million market cap, 8 billion dollar potential" narrative.
The real innovation might be happening elsewhere.
