DeFiance CEO: Crypto Venture Capital Is Dead, Future Investments Will Focus Solely on Pure Cash Flow Businesses

Odaily News DeFiance Capital CEO Arthur posted on X, stating that the cryptocurrency market has undergone a fundamental transformation—shifting from a valuation system centered on venture capital-backed growth to one focused on short-term cash flow generation, as this is the path most likely to deliver substantial returns for investors. Investors who have yet to grasp this shift will only endlessly deplete their capital.

Arthur: "Venture capital-style crypto is dead; cash flow-style crypto is eternal. All new projects I invest in must be pure cash flow businesses, capable of recouping the entire invested capital within 6 to 12 months and achieving a 3x to 5x return based on cash flow alone. Any concept project that merely hypes growth will no longer be effective."
