Crypto’s Transformative Impact Without Mass Adoption

Venture capitalist Arthur Cheong envisions a successful future for cryptocurrency even without widespread adoption.

The DeFiance Capital CEO shared on social media that crypto can still drive significant changes globally without needing to reach internet-scale usage.

Cheong believes that aiming for universal adoption of digital assets might be misguided. He argues that cryptocurrencies are best suited for specific, high-impact financial sectors like global state-free money, cross-border payments, and decentralized finance.

“I think we should accept that it’s possible crypto are not fit for mass adoption like web2 but instead are optimized for certain narrow but extremely high-impact use cases. Chasing normie mass adoption might be pursuing the wrong grail right from the beginning,” Cheong stated.

He also provided a short-term outlook for Bitcoin (BTC), predicting a rally after traditional finance investors purchased BTC following a sell-off by the German government. “German government sold all their BTC, TradFi [bought the dip] on BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and ETH ETFs launching next week. Almost a perfect set-up for us to go higher from here,” Cheong noted.

Additionally, Cheong observes that crypto investors are now focusing on high-quality projects, indicating a shift towards tokens with strong fundamentals. “Seeing pretty strong signs of accumulation for certain high-quality tokens across the board. Looks like a shift to coins with clear fundamentals,” he said.
