Deng Chao, CEO of HashKey Capital, a bitcoin and ether futures ETF issuer, and crypto-focused investment firm based in Hong Kong, stated that venture capital will continue to flow into crypto projects this year. Currently, VCs are particularly interested in areas such as stablecoin offerings, tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs), artificial intelligence (AI), and infrastructure. Chao further added that if Donald Trump wins a second term as U.S. president, VC capital will likely increase its flow into crypto projects.
