Crypto VCs Flocking to Late-Stage Deals, Leaving Early-Stage Funding Gap

Varun Datta of Truth Ventures argues in this week's Crypto Long & Short column that crypto venture capital firms are increasingly concentrating capital in later-stage investments, mistaking herd behavior for prudent strategy. Data shows that proven companies captured 57% of venture funding in the last quarter alone. Datta contends this consensus-driven retreat from early-stage deals is creating a significant gap at the founding stage. He believes this overlooked segment is precisely where the strongest investment returns are likely to be found, and outlines three key factors investors should evaluate when targeting early-stage opportunities.

CrowdStrike, Feds Dismantle Russian Malware That Hijacked Crypto Addresses for 8 Years

This technique, commonly known as a clipboard hijacker, allowed the threat actors to redirect cryptocurrency transactions without victims' knowledge. Investigators have identified and isolated more than 15,000 infected machines as part of the takedown effort.

Tokenization Is Reshaping How Value Is Created, Owned and Transferred

Solana Foundation's Lily Liu argues that tokenization represents far more than simply broadening access to digital assets. According to Liu, the trend marks a fundamental transformation in how value is generated, held, financed, and transferred across systems. The shift applies broadly, covering virtually any asset or item that can be assigned worth. Liu's perspective frames programmable tokens not as a niche financial tool but as a structural reimagining of economic ownership itself.

A lawsuit has been filed against Tether, the issuer of the USDT stablecoin, over allegations that it froze $42.4 million worth of USDT without proper legal authorization. The plaintiffs claim Tether acted on an informal request from U.S. law enforcement, rather than waiting for an official seizure warrant. According to the suit, the freeze took place more than three months before any formal warrant was issued. The case raises questions about whether Tether acted prematurely and outside the bounds of due legal process.

China's Credit Impulse Turns Negative, Posing Risk to Bitcoin and Stocks

China's credit impulse, a measure of new credit flow relative to GDP, is currently sending a bearish signal for risk assets. Historically, this indicator has influenced global appetite for riskier investments, including equities and cryptocurrencies. A declining credit impulse from China typically signals reduced liquidity and slower economic momentum, which can weigh on asset prices. Despite the warning sign, Bitcoin has largely held steady and shown resilience to the negative reading so far. Analysts continue to watch whether the indicator's red flag will eventually translate into broader market pressure.
