According to a report by The Block, the und which charges a 3% management fee with a 30% performance fee is down 71% through the end of September.
Despite its poor performance this year, the fund has returned over 350% in investment since its launch in 2017.
Meanwhile, Pantera Capital’s CEO Dan Morehead, predicted that cryptocurrencies will be quite popular in the near future because of the benefits they could offer to the financial system. He projected that billions of users will use blockchain technology in the upcoming years, which might raise the price of digital assets.
Also while sharing his takes on the current market conditions, Morehead said the current crypto winter will soon be followed by a bullish run that will see Bitcoin moving north. He also advises investors to diversify their assets and focus on other crypto projects that are important as the dominance of Bitcoin and Ethereum has begun to fade.
