Foresight News reports that Pantera Capital Managing Partner Paul Veradittakit stated at Consensus 2026 that Pantera currently manages $6 billion, and 2025 was the firm’s most active year for deploying capital. Despite a 42% decrease in the number of crypto transactions, venture capital funding increased by 14% year-over-year, indicating a market shift toward high-quality projects. The proportion of Bitcoin held by institutions has risen from 4% to 15%, with major banks and financial institutions such as JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Stripe deeply involved in the crypto space.
Paul Veradittakit believes 2026 will be the “Year of Utility” for cryptocurrencies, with investment themes including the integration of AI and crypto, tokenization of RWA (such as stocks, gold, real estate), stablecoins, and AI agent infrastructure. He pointed out that Asian markets have significant advantages in retail, decentralized perpetual contract trading, and prediction markets. For developers, he recommends prioritizing product-market fit and building sustainable businesses rather than solely focusing on tokens and quick speculation.
