VCs Opt for Multi-Chain Smart Contract Platform Rather Than Metaverse/NFTs

Hence, the majority of the crypto funds are now stuck up within these sectors, which may suggest a potential rise in the near future. Venture capitalists (VCs) are presently holding smart contract platforms at the highest level compared to the other market sectors while metaverse & NFTs have not made it to the list. 

These are the top assets held by crypto funds/VCs by market sector:

Considering the VC’s perspective, the future of the crypto space is embedded within multi-chain smart contract platforms that offer preferred risk-adjusted market exposure. The other outcome of the data can be drawn as DEX’s needed infrastructure to accommodate the predicted influx of users. And thirdly, the platforms that manage the data, record its storage, etc., can be considered a growing sector.
