Some major foundation investments in the crypto space raise eyebrows when the advisory roles involved don't pan out as expected. History shows that when certain ecosystem funds back consultants for market development—particularly in launch strategy roles—the outcomes can be mixed. The pattern sometimes repeats: the initial project ships, tokens distribute, and then the advisor pivots to other ventures. Whether this reflects misaligned incentives or simply the nature of early-stage crypto advising, it's worth watching how these capital allocation decisions impact larger ecosystem health.
