Despite the cautious stance of venture capitalists towards crypto, observed by Clausen, the timing presents an opportunity for early-stage investments.
“The VC investment market of crypto always lags [token] prices. A lot of VCs aren’t back yet, and the valuations are still very reasonable and lowered, especially for these early-stage rounds,” Clausen noted.
