1.《This Is the Winter for VCs, Yet the Spring for KOL Agencies》
"Many VCs are not doing well this year and are now starting to transition into agencies," said Miko, founder of Hyperion. One core team member of theirs shut down their own VC last month and joined the agency track. This seems to be an industry commonality, as most core team members of agencies have investment experience. Agencies are becoming the 'next stop' for VC folks. As VCs lose appeal to retail investors, agencies are becoming the new market narrative creators. This is the winter for VCs and the spring for KOL agencies.
2.《From Cantor to Securitize, the Crypto Industry Spends $18 Million to Buy Washington》
This year, Trump returned to the White House and held the most extravagant inauguration week in history for himself. According to Forbes, donations from corporate supporters and executives reached a record-breaking $239 million. Among them, the crypto industry, as one of Trump's most ardent supporters, contributed $18 million. Ripple, which has long been in litigation with the SEC, donated nearly $4.9 million, ranking second among all donors. Of course, this money was well spent. The SEC subsequently dropped lawsuits or threatened actions against donors to Trump's inauguration fund, including Coinbase, Crypto.com, Uniswap, Yuga Labs, Kraken, and Ripple.
