🚀 Varys Capital's Tom Dunleavy Highlights Dramatic Shift in Crypto Funding Landscape

The cryptocurrency market has experienced a significant shift in its funding environment over the past six months, according to Odaily. Tom Dunleavy, Head of Venture Capital at Varys Capital, shared on X that the process for venture capitalists (VCs) to secure promising projects has changed drastically. Previously, VCs had to engage in extensive networking, content creation, podcast appearances, and numerous calls to attract investments. Now, simply having available funds is sufficient, as projects are actively seeking out VCs.

Currently, most VC firms are in one of three states: they have exhausted their funds, shifted focus to later-stage investments (Series A and beyond), or are in the process of fundraising, albeit with difficulty. Fundraising timelines have extended from 2-3 weeks to 2-3 months. Projects with questionable business models or those merely replicating the latest trends are struggling to secure new or follow-up funding, which Dunleavy views as a positive development.

There are fewer than 20 firms actively investing in pre-seed or seed rounds. VCs now have the luxury of selecting projects more carefully and conducting thorough due diligence. The investment cycle of 2025-2026 is anticipated to be a historic 'golden opportunity,' provided VCs can endure the current market conditions.

🚀 South Korea Considers Including Digital Assets in Pension Calculations

South Korea's Audit and Inspection Board has recommended changes to the country's pension system to include digital assets in the calculation of basic pension eligibility. According to ChainCatcher, the board's report highlights the economic value of digital assets, which are currently excluded from the property scope defined by the basic pension law. This exclusion allows individuals with substantial digital assets to qualify for pension benefits.

The board argues that digital assets should be recognized as property with clear economic value, despite their differing form from traditional financial assets. The Ministry of Health and Welfare agrees with this assessment, acknowledging the need to prevent relatively high-income individuals from the lower 70% income bracket from receiving basic pension benefits. The ministry supports the inclusion of digital assets in the property calculation for pension eligibility.
