Crypto VCs discuss investing in a bear market, contrasting it with investing when prices were booming.

FTX Ventures Head of Ventures and Commercial Amy Wu said that during the last bull market, VC deals were rushed through lacking due diligence.

This marks one of the key differences between the last bull market and the current bear market, Wu added, speaking on a panel on “VC investing in a bear market” at Breakpoint, Lisbon. She said things are better now. “The founders also have a longer track record of working in the space. That in itself speaks volumes to whether they’re long-term oriented or not, and all that’s healthier,” she said.When asked whether they prefer tokens or equity when investing in crypto starts, both Multicoin Capital co-founder Kyle Samani and Sino Capital CEO Matthew Graham noted they had heard investors were favoring equity a bit more in the current market.
