10T Holdings: «Криптовалютные стартапы с оценками в 80 раз выше выручки отпугивают венчурных капиталистов»

cryptonews.ruPublished on 2025-04-15Last updated on 2025-05-15

Слишком много криптостартапов выбивают себя из венчурного финансирования, преследуя оценки, намного превышающие их выручку, по словам Дэна Тапейро, генерального директора криптоориентированной венчурной компании 10T Holdings.

«По какой-то причине основатели и генеральные директора считают, что они должны привлекать капитал в размере от 50 до 80 раз больше выручки. Поэтому нам очень сложно получить доход от наших поставщиков ликвидности», — сказал Тапейро, выступая на панельной дискуссии на конференции Consensus в Торонто 14 мая.

«Поэтому многие из этих сделок мы просто пропускаем почти автоматически, даже в те компании, которые нам действительно нравятся, мы не будем инвестировать, если цена изначально неразумна», — добавил он.

10T Holdings обошла стороной более 200 компаний по схожим причинам, включая ныне обанкротившиеся FTX, BlockFi и Celsius, сказал Тапейро.

Тапейро сказал, что 10T Holdings ищет криптопроекты с оценкой выше диапазона от 400 до 500 миллионов долларов с соотношением оценки к выручке 10x или меньше.

Венчурные капиталисты часто предпочитают более низкие оценки, поскольку они предлагают больший потенциал роста с меньшим риском.

Реалистичные оценки часто делают последующие раунды финансирования более привлекательными для инвесторов, а также упрощают процесс выхода.

«Оценка очень важна», сказал Тапейро.

Несмотря на комментарии Тапейро, похоже, что у криптостартапов не возникло проблем с привлечением венчурного капитала, поскольку PitchBook сообщил 13 мая, что общая стоимость сделок по криптовенчурному капиталу выросла более чем на 100% по сравнению с предыдущим кварталом до 6 миллиардов долларов в первом квартале 2025 года, в то время как количество сделок увеличилось только на 8,8%.

Венчурным капиталистам следует диверсифицировать свои портфели

Также вместе с Тапейро выступил генеральный директор Pantera Capital Дэн Морхед, который сказал, что большему количеству венчурных капиталистов следует выбирать сочетание частного капитала и токенов при инвестировании в криптостартапы.

«У каждого есть свои плюсы и минусы, а затем они попадают в эти дикие маятниковые колебания, когда иногда токены действительно дороги, а венчурные капиталы дешевы. Иногда все наоборот».

«Поэтому как инвестор я всегда выступаю за то, чтобы люди инвестировали в широкий спектр токенов и венчурных капиталовложений», — сказал Морхед.

Pantera Морхеда на протяжении многих лет придерживалась более агрессивного подхода, чем 10T Holdings, и добилась значительного успеха, получив прибыль от 86% стартапов, в которые она инвестировала, причем 22 из них достигли статуса единорога (оценки в 1 миллиард долларов).

Preferred Stock Is Not the Trigger for Corporate Bankruptcy, MicroStrategy's Dollar Reserves Can Cover Dividend and Interest Payments Until February 2027

Preferred Shares Are Not the Catalyst for Corporate Bankruptcy; MicroStrategy's Dollar Reserves Can Cover Dividend and Interest Payments Until February 2027. This article analyzes the nature of preferred shares used by MicroStrategy (MSTR). Legally equity but economically similar to debt, these shares, including its Bitcoin-linked STR convertible preferred notes (STRC), offer fixed or floating dividends. Crucially, MicroStrategy's preferred shares lack rigid redemption clauses, meaning they are not classified as traditional debt. This eliminates principal repayment pressure and means missed dividends do not constitute default or trigger bankruptcy, creating a "self-contradictory virtuous cycle." The article clarifies that if funds are short, MicroStrategy can defer or suspend preferred share dividends (except for non-cumulative types like STRD) without immediate risk. The real potential crisis point lies with its convertible bonds. If a prolonged bear market prevents conversion, MicroStrategy might need to sell Bitcoin to repay these bonds starting from the earliest maturity in September 2027, potentially creating a downward spiral. Preferred dividend suspensions would only exacerbate market panic in such a scenario. Recent financial activity shows MicroStrategy strengthened its position through four weeks of common stock (MSTR) issuances, raising over $851 million without issuing new preferred shares. It increased its dollar reserves to approximately $1.4 billion, which is sufficient to cover all preferred share dividends and interest until around March 2027. While Bitcoin purchases slowed recently, this prioritization of cash reserves enhances the company's near-term financial safety. The analysis concludes that if the Bitcoin bear market ends by early 2025 as anticipated, MicroStrategy can resume issuing MSTR stock in a rising market to replenish reserves and manage future dividend obligations, thereby reducing the long-term pressure from its preferred share structure.

Giants Wage the Context War, Reconstructing AI Moats

The article "Giants Launch the Context War, Reconstructing AI's Moat" discusses how leading AI companies—OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google—are shifting their competitive focus from model size to acquiring, managing, and utilizing user context (Context). Initially, Context referred to the length of text a model could process, leading to a "arms race" for longer context windows. However, the competition has evolved through three key phases: expanding text capacity (long context windows), enabling memory across sessions, and finally, integrating AI into real user environments like browsers and desktops to capture dynamic task states. Each company is pursuing a distinct strategy. OpenAI is building Context around the ChatGPT account, turning it into a central hub that accumulates user understanding across various integrated applications and tools. Anthropic, lacking a major user base, focuses on high-value verticals like coding, empowering its Claude model to actively gather Context through GUI interaction (Computer Use) and system connections (MCP protocol). Google, with vast existing user data from products like Search and Gmail, faces the challenge of restructuring this data into actionable, AI-understandable Context for its Gemini model within its ecosystem. The core argument is that the nature of competitive advantage in AI is changing. The internet era prized network effects—connecting more users. The AI era values "individual depth": the ability to build deep, task-specific understanding of a user. This creates a new moat through 1) the compounding value of accumulated Context, 2) deep integration with user tools and permissions, and 3) the establishment of trust for complex tasks. Therefore, the battle for Context is fundamentally about capturing "task entry points" and converting existing digital ecosystems into environments where AI can effectively understand and act, rather than merely scaling user numbers.

Foundation Steps Back, Ethlabs Steps Forward: Ethereum Undergoes Its Largest Restructuring in History

On June 23rd, the Ethereum ecosystem witnessed two major shifts, signaling a significant governance realignment. First, former Ethereum Foundation researchers established Ethlabs, a new independent non-profit. Backed by major ETH holders like Bitmine and SharpLink, Ethlabs aims to address practical needs for institutional adoption, including faster settlement, native asset issuance, cross-chain transactions, and mainnet scaling. Secondly, the Ethereum Foundation announced a major restructuring, laying off 54 employees (20% of its staff) to become a leaner entity focused on protocol governance and maintenance rather than being the primary builder. This move represents a pivotal correction. Criticisms had mounted over the Foundation's perceived slowness, lack of clear strategy, and over-reliance on Vitalik Buterin's influence. Ethlabs emerges as a more execution-oriented, "industrialized" layer focused on market adoption—bridging the gap between research and real-world use. Notably, Vitalik Buterin is absent from its list of supporters, interpreted as an intentional step to avoid excessive personal endorsement and allow the organization to build independent credibility. The Ethereum Foundation's downsizing and redefinition mark a retreat from its former central coordinating role. It now aims to share the "privilege of stewarding Ethereum" with other emerging groups like Ethlabs, the Ethereum Applications Guild, and The Ethereum Economic Zone. Analysts frame this dual shift as the Foundation ensuring Ethereum remains "correct" (credibly neutral), while Ethlabs must prove it remains "effective" (competitive and attractive for capital and adoption). This addresses community "shareholder-like anxiety" about ETH's market performance. While risks exist—such as concerns over shifting from Foundation centrality to large-holder influence—the consensus is that the greater risk for Ethereum was inaction, caught between technical idealism and organizational inertia. These steps aim to create a more multi-stakeholder, execution-driven future for the network.

Second Half of U.S. Crypto Policy: The Clarity Act Aims for 60 Votes, CFTC's "One-Person Commission" Becomes Biggest Variable

In a pivotal year for US crypto policy, the "CLARITY Act" is advancing in the Senate but faces a high hurdle, needing 60 votes to pass. Key challenges include bridging partisan divides on ethics and swaying undecided Republican senators within a tight legislative calendar of only about 40 working days. The policy "second half" involves intense negotiations on a broader framework for Web3 and DeFi, including crypto tax reforms and the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act. A significant uncertainty is the understaffed CFTC, operating with four commissioner vacancies, which complicates regulatory clarity. Meanwhile, the departure of key "crypto champions"—SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and Senator Cynthia Lummis—will impact ongoing policy efforts. Industry experts are cautiously optimistic but realistic. Sara K. Weed notes that while progress is being made, CLARITY is unlikely to pass this Congress, pushing agencies like the SEC and CFTC to provide more guidance. Sulolit Mukherjee suggests meaningful crypto tax legislation is more likely to be attached to larger must-pass bills. Rashan Colbert discusses the jurisdictional debate over prediction markets, emphasizing the need for a regulatory framework that fosters their development as financial tools rather than treating them broadly as gambling. The clock is ticking, but opportunities remain for substantive progress through continued bipartisan dialogue and pragmatic efforts.
