Crypto firms are going public, fast. Hereโs what Iโm watching:
Despite weak liquidity, public market crypto proxies, especially compliant, cash-flow-generating firms, have outperformed most altcoins. That says a lot.
However, the โcrypto treasuryโ trend seems to be growing too fast. Itโs giving SPAC dรฉjร vu. Great narrative, but shaky fundamentals.
My ideal sustainable play would be: stablecoin issuers/exchanges with audited reserves + profits + strong governance + regulatory alignment.
Zooming out, Bitcoin and global risk assets are now in a narrative vacuum. The market lacks fresh catalyst and strong momentum. Weโre all waiting on one thing: macro alignment on rate cuts (and Powell is still stalling).
Until then, alpha lives where credibility meets compliance.
Had the pleasure of speaking at a startup comp at @hkust last week. The participating projects were ambitious, especially in AI and life science, but web3 was absent.
It got me thinking: maybe weโre not doing enough to bridge the gap between web3 and universities. Better education, stronger mentorship, and real-world use cases matter.
The next wave of builders is already here. Any bold ideas to bring them into web3?
Earlier today, I took part in a media interview that felt a bit offโand this afternoon, I lost access to my Telegram. Some friends also received suspicious DMs from my X account.
We've regained control of this X account, but my Telegram is still in the process of recovery. If you received any strange DMs from me today on X or Telegram, please ignore them and stay alertโdo not click on any suspicious links. Apologies for the confusion caused.
This June, Bitget is running its #BitgetAntiScamMonth campaign to raise awareness around security. As hackers and scammers grow more sophisticated, staying safe is an ongoing effort. Iโll be learning and growing with all of youโkeep studying, stay safe. ๐
During the MIT Sloan reunion last month, I finally got to attend a seminar by Professor Andrew Lo. He's one of the sharpest minds in finance and innovation. I had tried (and failed!) to get into his class during my MBA, so this was a full-circle moment.
His talk on Financing Deep Tech hit home. He spoke about the โvalley of deathโ, the risky gap between breakthrough research and real-world application. It reminded me of what many crypto projects face today: strong tech, but struggling to survive without the right capital, ecosystem, and patient backing.
Whether itโs deep tech or web3, itโs mission-aligned capital and long-term conviction that ultimately bridge the gap.
Grateful to be back at Sloan, still learning from the best.
Many in the community are hyped about FTXโs $5B payout tomorrow (May 30).
The number sounds big, but I donโt think it represents a direct, massive capital injection into the market.
To put it in perspective, $5B equals: ๐ 0.14% of crypto market cap ($3.5T) ๐ 3.97% of daily trading volume ($126B) ๐ 2% of circulating stablecoin supply ($250B)
It sounds large, but it wonโt move the entire market. That said, liquidity still matters.
I donโt expect a full-on bull breakout, as a significant portion of FTX claims were bought by TradFi funds like Baupost, Oaktree, and Attestor, who are unlikely to ape memecoins, but to exit. Some funds may rotate into crypto, but a good chunk will likely just cash out.
In a very optimistic case, if $2.5B (50%) flows into $BTC (~3.3% of daily volume), that could push $BTC +1โ3% to around $109K.
Altcoins may be the wildcard. Smaller caps could see 5โ10%+ pops if traders rotate into high-beta narratives, but that depends on retail participation.
While I donโt expect price impact across stablecoins, this liquidity may power DeFi flows, RWA narratives, and passive yield demand (think: #BGUSD).
The payout will take 1-3 days. Watch this weekend and next week for short-term volatility. Keep an eye on on-chain stablecoin flows and exchange inflows to track market direction.
I spoke with @JouaidAbdallah from @CNNBusinessAr about whatโs next for crypto in 2025 during @TOKEN2049 Dubai.
My take: ๐ More altcoin spot ETFs will get greenlit in the US ๐ฆ 3xโ6x more public companies will hold Bitcoin by end-2025 ๐ Dropped a little Bitget alpha too
And yes, I also bet $BTC hits $1M within the next decade ๐
Bitget is actively tracking the stolen funds from Sui's @CetusProtocol and coordinating efforts to support the community. We'll stand with all builders in the space.
At #AVAXSummit today, and itโs clear Avalanche is building with long-term utility in mind โ particularly around asset issuance, infra modularity, and institutional rails. CEXs, DeFi, L1s and VCs all play a role in onboarding the next wave. @luigidemeo @perkinscr97 #AVAX #Web3Infra
$40B+ in cumulative flows into spot Bitcoin ETFs. This is shaping up to be the most institutionally anchored and structurally supported cycle in crypto history.
Many friends have recently asked me about @MorphLayer. #Bitget was one of its early investorsโwe invested $2 million in 2023 for a 20% equity stake. Since then, Morph has continued to grow and attract interest from both institutions and individual investors.

As one of the few L2 weโve invested in, we were drawn to their vision of building a consumer-grade blockchain, though weโre not involved in daily operations or decision-making. From what Iโve seen, the #Morph team is proactive, tech-driven, and deeply committed to long-term goals. Their 2025 roadmap includes several key milestonesโhope to see how their continued building can drive meaningful progress in the space.
