Arthur Cheong on Crypto’s Potential Without Mass Adoption

Venture capitalist Arthur Cheong, CEO of DeFiance Capital, envisions a future where cryptocurrency thrives even without mass adoption. Addressing his 171,400 followers on social media platform X, Cheong shared his perspective that crypto’s transformative power doesn’t rely on everyone embracing it.

He argues that digital assets are crafted to revolutionize specific financial sectors. “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 like global state-free money, cross-border payment, and decentralized finance,” Cheong stated. He suggests that aiming for universal adoption might be misguided from the start.

Bitcoin’s Short-Term Prospects

Cheong also provided insights into Bitcoin’s immediate future. He believes BTC is set for a rally, driven by traditional finance investors purchasing the cryptocurrency after the German government sold its holdings. “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.

He sees strong signs of accumulation for high-quality tokens, indicating a strategic shift among crypto investors. “Seeing pretty strong signs of accumulation for certain high-quality tokens across the board. Looks like a shift to coins with clear fundamentals,” he added.

As of now, Bitcoin is trading at $62,789, marking a 4.5% increase on the day. Cheong’s observations highlight a market poised for upward movement, fueled by strategic investments and a focus on quality projects.
