Prior to the 2020 Rally, Funds Were Showing Signs of Capitulation – What’s Changed?
It is important to note that the potential injection of billions of dollars’ worth of capital into the markets comes close on the heels of recent comments from other prominent cryptocurrency venture capitalists regarding there being a sense of capitulation amongst major funds. Avichal Garg, a co-founder at Electric Capital, explained that he had talked to managers at multiple liquid crypto funds, who noted that they are largely exiting the crypto markets.“Spoke with multiple liquid crypto fund managers this week. They all have investors leaving their funds and leaving crypto altogether. Feels like true capitulation is finally happening,” he explained.

If major funds really are on the brink of injecting billions of dollars into the crypto markets, it is highly probable that this will help perpetuate the development of the industry, which could help catalyze a sustainable macro rally.
