In a recent<\/span> interview<\/a><\/strong>, a partner at Pantera Capital, Paul Veradittakit<\/strong> talked about the winners and losers of the Ethereum Merge<\/a><\/strong>. Initially, Veradittakit explained the key differences<\/strong> between a crypto venture capitalist and a traditional venture capitalist. He said that it is difficult to find connections and you can get anonymous founders<\/strong>. Moreover, Telegram and Discord groups<\/strong> play a vital role in crypto ventures.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Veradittakit was asked about his views on investing during crypto winter or the crypto bull market<\/strong>. He said that not many tokens<\/strong> are launched in a bear market. However, investors have more to evaluate deals<\/strong>. Also, he noted that investors like him try to pour their money into the winners of each category<\/strong>. They diversify their portfolio on the basis of categories, geographic location, and market size<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Verdittakit Remains Confident About the Ethereum Merge<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ethereum is set to undergo its most significant update, the Merge<\/strong>. The blockchain network will transition from the Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism to the Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism<\/strong>. It will help Ethereum to become more sustainable, as the PoS system is more efficient<\/strong> and requires less use of energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Verdittakit believes that the merge will bring more visibility and development<\/strong> to Ethereum. Therefore, more and more people will show interest<\/strong> in Ethereum. He further said that it will be encouraging for Defi and NFTs<\/strong>. Tokens supporting such projects will surely reap the benefits of Ethereum\u2019s merge. The update is now scheduled for September 15<\/strong>. Many experts believe that it will make Ethereum scalable, accessible, and cheap<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, Verdittakit was further asked about the role of the SEC<\/strong>. He said that it is the need of the hour to continue pushing regulation forward<\/strong>. He believes that clarity is important for the entrepreneur class<\/strong> in the longer run. However, Verdittakit also argued that it is the right time to invest in infrastructure and technologies<\/strong> that primarily focus on a more regulated world, KYC techniques, insurance, and security<\/strong>. All of these key elements<\/strong> will differentiate between future winners and losers of the crypto market.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lastly, Verdittakit said that he is quite excited<\/strong> about NFTs, as it offers many opportunities to creators and brands<\/strong>. It is still a relatively new field but it offers a chance for gaming entrepreneurs<\/strong> to shine in the blockchain sector. He identified India, Southeast Asia, and Latin America<\/strong> as key areas for the growth of the NFT industry in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
