On April 8, Daniel Yan, founder of Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital), posted on social media: “The war has been confirmed over—no insider info, and neither side has reason to keep fighting. Lock in profits as the rebound unfolds.” This year’s crypto market is strikingly similar to 2019. Secondary liquidity has seen a cliff-edge drop, primary market investment confidence is nearly non-existent, Web3 firms are laying off staff en masse, and industry professionals are switching careers. When others are fearful, you should be greedy. This year is definitely the ideal window for secondary market bottom-fishing and primary market investing—just like 2019. Firms that bottom-fished in the secondary market and invested in primary deals in 2019 emerged as the biggest winners of the 2020 bull run. We’re focused on executing both initiatives effectively.
