Hack VC Joint Creation: Seeing a 'once-in-a-lifetime opportunity' in DeFi, it is predicted that most NFTs, excluding blue chips, will depreciate

Hack VC co-founder and managing partner Ed Roman stated that unless a black swan event occurs, it is expected that cryptocurrency risk investment funds will "significantly increase" by 2025. Hack VC focuses on three main areas: encrypted artificial intelligence, infrastructure, and DeFi. Roman pointed out that thanks to the GPU-based decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN), compared with traditional Web2 clouds, encryption provides unique opportunities for multi-layer artificial intelligence stacks at lower costs.

In terms of infrastructure, Hack VC still favors scalable protocols, modular infrastructures, Web3 security enhancements, MEV improvements and account abstraction technologies. Roman said these innovations have greatly matured the Web3 stack and improved the user experience of decentralized applications (dApps). In addition to this, Hack VC sees a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" in DeFi to simplify financial systems. Roman believes payments based on stablecoins are fundamental to this system; numerous real-world applications represent a market worth "trillions of dollars". However, the company is not so optimistic about NFTs predicting most NFTs will depreciate in value with only blue-chip assets maintaining their worth.
