BlockBeats news, on December 31, Simon Seojoon Kim, CEO and managing partner of Hashed, said that although Trump’s remarks about Bitcoin as a U.S. Treasury asset suggest a possible shift in institutional sentiment, funding levels are unlikely to return to 2021 -2022 highs. However, this could change significantly if a macro or political black swan event occurs.
Kim pointed out that the market in 2025 is likely to be favorably affected by factors such as regulatory transparency in the United States, increased institutional activity in Asian markets, and infrastructure advancements.
On the downside, Kim warned that risks such as regulatory setbacks, macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions could dampen growth.
Hashed’s 2025 investment priorities include DePIN, institutional-grade DeFi applications, regulated stablecoin payment systems, and crypto AI infrastructure—all areas that Kim believes have clear product-market fit, regulatory compliance pathways, and proven Earning potential. In contrast, he expects funding from speculative GameFi projects lacking a sustainable economy, featureless Layer 1 and Layer 2, consumer DeFi applications in restricted jurisdictions, and NFT platforms without clear utility or revenue models to reduce.
Hashed plans to close (end funding) its third venture fund by Q1 2025 and launch a new investment vehicle in Abu Dhabi designed to facilitate direct token investments within the region’s regulatory framework.
