Simon Dedic, CEO and partner at Moonrock Capital, has expressed concern over the growing indecision and fear among venture capitalists (VC) about the future of the crypto market.

He pointed out that the divide in opinions on future directions has never been more pronounced.

Dedic Warns of Growing Fear and Indecision Among Crypto Investors

In the latest statement, Dedic stressed that the crypto market is currently in an uncertain phase that will eventually be regarded as one of the most defining moments in its history. 

According to him, conversations with prominent figures in the space— leading VCs, market makers , top founders, and exchanges—reveal an industry deeply divided on its future direction.

“Never before have I seen such a split in opinions on where things are headed. And never before have insiders and industry professionals been this indecisive and fearful about what comes next,” Dedic  wrote .

The CEO noted that a  significant number of market participants  have already exited or are in the process of leaving. Meanwhile, others are confronting the repercussions of strategic miscalculations, leading to considerable challenges.

He also observed that the  confidence in the crypto market is diminishing  among a growing number of individuals. This sense of uncertainty is reflected in the latest observations from RootData. The data shows a clear decline in VC investments in the crypto market over the past month compared to the past two months.

The percentage of VCs making no investments has more than doubled. A similar trend is noticeable among VCs making between 1 and 4 investments.

The analysis also revealed that over half of active VCs have made zero or only one investment. This indicated a cautious and risk-averse approach in the market.

“The funding freeze suggests that we may have entered a deeper bear market phase,” RootData added.

However, not all are abandoning ship. Dedic pointed out that some are staying the course, confident that a fundamentally  strong altcoin season is still on the horizon . 

“This is the phase that will separate the winners from the losers,” he said.

Industry experts have discussed the distinct nature of the current cycle. The surge in  new token releases has caused liquidity fragmentation , which analysts believe is delaying an alt season. 

However, analysts also highlight signs of a potential altcoin season , pointing to a possible  upcoming decline in Bitcoin (BTC) dominance  and the ongoing decoupling of certain altcoins from BTC.
