Where's the VC money flowing these days?

Lately, institutional investors are zeroing in on a few key areas: AI-powered blockchain infrastructure, modular layer-2 solutions, and real-world asset tokenization platforms are pulling serious capital. There's also renewed interest in privacy-focused protocols and sustainable blockchain frameworks.

We're seeing less hype around pure speculation plays and more focus on projects solving actual problems—whether that's scalability, UX, or bridging TradFi with crypto. The smart money is backing teams with proven track records and clear paths to adoption.

What sectors are catching your eye in the current funding cycle?

I'm actually not very optimistic about real-world asset tokenization; it still feels mostly theoretical and not very practical.

RWA tokenization is indeed gaining momentum, but honestly, most are still PPT projects... How many have truly been implemented? AI + blockchain infrastructure sounds explosive, but in the end, isn't it just about burning money to compete for speed?

Venture capitalists are pouring money into AI infrastructure, but very few projects are truly practical; it still feels like a gamble on probabilities.

AI infrastructure is indeed hot right now, but I see that most projects are still just storytelling, and there are very few that can truly be implemented.

RWA tokenization is really competitive this time, but it seems like only a few can truly be implemented... It's the old routine.

Sounds nice, but isn't it just institutions accumulating chips at low prices, waiting for retail investors to take the bait [dog head]

RWA is indeed hot right now, but the number of projects that can truly be implemented is few and far between... Anyway, I don't quite understand those modular L2s; it feels like they're just reinventing the wheel.
