Traversing Cycles: A Review and Outlook of Blockchain Investment Institutions in 2022

2022 marked the 7th year of a certain Blockchain investment institution's deep cultivation in the industry. In this year, the institution continued to advance its global investment strategy, focusing on key areas such as infrastructure, protocols, data layers, and Web3, while also paying attention to emerging fields like data security, custody, DID, NFT, the metaverse, and GameFi.

In terms of investment strategy, the institution adopts a combination of vertical and horizontal approaches: vertically delving into the technology community to timely grasp new trends; horizontally collaborating extensively with public chain foundations and global peer institutions to promote the growth of quality projects. As of now, the institution has invested in over 300 companies, with assets under management exceeding 1 billion dollars.

In 2022, the organization also achieved several milestone accomplishments:

• Completed nearly $500 million in fundraising for the third phase of the fund.
• Regulatory licenses approved in Hong Kong and Singapore
• Selected for multiple industry authoritative lists
• Deeply participate in top industry summit activities

Looking ahead to 2023, the management team of the institution expressed confidence in the future despite the turbulence in the industry. They will continue to adhere to responsible investment, selecting high-quality projects through rigorous due diligence, and providing comprehensive support to the invested enterprises. At the same time, they will further strengthen cooperation with regulatory agencies and professional service providers to promote healthy industry development.

A senior consultant pointed out that despite some recent dishonest behavior in the industry, the fundamental advantages of Blockchain technology have not changed. In the long run, the current setbacks may instead accelerate the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies. He believes that Web3 and Blockchain are expected to create huge investment opportunities globally.

Another consultant stated that the development process of the blockchain industry is similar to that of emerging financial instruments such as derivatives. Although it may face challenges in the short term, in the long run, this technology is still expected to become an important tool for achieving risk management, liquidity, and price discovery.

Overall, although the industry experienced a "crypto winter" in 2022, this investment institution remains optimistic about the arrival of spring. They believe that the current challenges will drive progress in areas such as regulatory compliance, credit systems, long-term vision, and operational transparency, ultimately earning the trust of more institutional investors.
