Most crypto funds believe Bitcoin has not yet hit its bottom, with the true bottom expected to occur at the end of Q3 to early Q4 this year.
According to The Block, several cryptocurrency funds have adopted a cautious stance toward Bitcoin’s outlook. David Grider, Partner at Finality Capital, stated that Bitcoin is currently in the mid-to-late downward phase of this market cycle, with the true bottom expected to occur at the end of Q3 through early Q4 this year—within a range of approximately $45,000 to $55,000—and potentially rebounding to $65,000–$75,000 by year-end. Richard Galvin, Executive Chairman of Digital Asset Capital Management, holds a “relatively neutral” view on Bitcoin over the next 12 months; his firm’s directional fund currently holds its highest cash allocation to date, while its Bitcoin allocation has dropped to the lowest level since 2022. Cosmo Jiang, General Partner at Pantera Capital, noted that the four-year Bitcoin cycle may extend the bear market for several more months, yet the market is becoming increasingly rational, with price action reflecting fundamentals more closely. Jack Platts, Founder of Hypersphere Ventures, forecasts Bitcoin’s year-end baseline price at approximately $55,000, with a bear-case scenario potentially dropping to $40,000 and a bull-case scenario reaching $80,000.

Crypto markets are sluggish, and most top-tier VCs have seen a significant decline in their AUM.
According to Fortune, during the 2025 crypto market downturn, major crypto-focused venture capital firms—including Paradigm, a16z, and Multicoin—generally saw declines in their assets under management (AUM). Specifically, a16z’s four crypto funds experienced an almost 40% drop in AUM to $9.5 billion compared to 2024; however, the firm had already distributed capital to limited partners (LPs) at market highs, with its first crypto fund achieving a distribution-to-paid-in (DPI) ratio of 5.4—demonstrating standout returns. Multicoin’s AUM fell by roughly half from its peak to approximately $2.7 billion. Pantera Capital also completed exit distributions via the IPOs of five portfolio companies, including Circle and BitGo. In contrast, Haun Ventures grew its AUM by over 30% year-on-year to around $2.5 billion. Currently, institutions including Paradigm, a16z crypto, and Dragonfly are actively raising new funds, with a combined target size exceeding $4.2 billion.
