HashKey Capital CEO Deng Chao said crypto projects will attract more venture capital funding in 2025. VCs are eyeing stablecoin products, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, artificial intelligence, and infrastructure.
Chao said rising digital asset valuations in 2024 and the positives of Donald Trump’s reelection in the U.S. will attract more venture capital into crypto projects. “These macro tailwinds will drive more venture capital into 2025 as we enter a supportive macro environment driven by U.S. stimulus policies and the formalization of the crypto regulatory framework,” Chao said.
Despite the positive outlook, Deng Chao warned that macro risks including geopolitical tensions or increased deficit spending could exacerbate price volatility and uncertainty in the new year.
