Everyone said the institution has stopped The project cannot raise funds Brushing hair has lost its market Investment research has lost its direction completely wrong Has the institutional action stopped? No, the institution won't take you anymore. The institution's actions have not stopped. A16z Crypto won three consecutive cities in June - Digital Asset with 355 million, Morpho with 175 million, and Catena Labs with 30 million. Tether invested $1.4 billion in humanoid robots using the money earned from cryptocurrency trading. Paradigm turned around and invested in the manufacturing industry. The money is not small, it just flows to places where retail investors are not needed. Can't the project raise funds? Neither. The project that raises money does not require your liquidity at all. Morpho took 175 million, TVL 6.6 billion, Coinbase and Kraken directly connected - this is not a project where you deposit 10000 U and wait for airdrops. Digital Asset does on chain settlement for Citigroup, you can't even touch the interactive entrance. The reason why there is no market for hairless projects is because this round of VC led projects has become more sophisticated - they do not engage in user incentives and directly follow the institutional listing route. The premise of raising funds is that the project requires community popularity and on chain activity, both of which can now be solved through market makers and exchange listing fees, without the need for you. Is there no direction for investment research? The direction is actually very clear: AI+encryption infrastructure, on chain credit lending, predictive markets - but the research threshold for these directions is increasing, and the previous investment research method of "scanning contracts to find function signatures" is becoming ineffective. The new direction requires you to understand AI inference architecture, credit pricing models, and compliance frameworks, not Solidity. The four sentence summary is not that the market has cooled down, but that the game rules have changed. The rule of change is: funds are concentrated in top projects, projects are concentrated in institutional channels, and individual investors are blocked out - not because you are not smart enough, but because there is no space left for you in this round.
