According to Deep Tide TechFlow news, on December 31, Hack VC co-founder and managing partner Ed Roman stated in an interview with The Block that unless a black swan event occurs, crypto venture capital funding is expected to significantly increase by 2025, mainly due to supportive government policies for crypto and founders' new interest in web3.
Hack VC focuses on three major areas: crypto AI, infrastructure, and DeFi. Roman emphasized that GPU-based DePIN networks allow the crypto sector to build multi-layer AI tech stacks at lower costs, which will be a trillion-dollar market when serving web2 clients.
In terms of infrastructure, the company is optimistic about technologies such as scalability protocols, modular infrastructure, web3 security, MEV optimization, and account abstraction. Regarding DeFi, Roman believes that stablecoin-based payment systems will become the cornerstone of future financial systems, but he is cautious about NFTs, expecting only blue-chip assets to retain value.
