Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua stated that the biggest problem in the crypto industry in recent years is the decline in innovation. This problem stems from two aspects: first, the previous US government tightened crypto policies, which should be resolved with the passing of the crypto infrastructure bill this time. Second, Binance requires projects to implement a 1+3 year lock-up mechanism for crypto VCs. It is believed that Binance's original intention was good, aiming to cultivate long-term investment thinking. The consequence of this mechanism now is that project teams, market makers, and liquidity providers on trading platforms 'run' first, while VCs gradually lose everything during the long unlocking period. VCs already bear the greatest risk in the primary market but also have to bear the latest exit risk, which is obviously contrary to traditional investment markets. The result is the collective disappearance of crypto VCs, making it difficult for quality entrepreneurs to raise funds and reducing industry innovation. A suggestion to Binance founder CZ is to provide crypto VCs with a better exit mechanism to activate VC capital activity, which will be beneficial to industry innovation and also more favorable for trading platforms to list quality assets.
