5 Key Takeaways with the Founder of a Fundamentals Driven Crypto Hedge Fund — Plaintext Capital
<p>Crypto Funds Watch interviewed Andres Garcia, the COO of <a href="https://www.plaintextcapital.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Plaintext Capital</a>, a liquid/venture fund utilizing a multi-strategy approach to invest in digital assets, and this is what he told us…</p>
<h1>1. Consumer Applications — The Future of Crypto</h1>
<p>Andres believes crypto will reach the masses through consumer applications. Payments, gaming, music, publishing, are the verticals where Plaintext is seeing advancements in the sector. Cryptocurrency technology has finally reached a point where it has the proper infrastructure to scale, but the space still needs to find a way to tackle better UX and UI to facilitate further adoption.</p>
<h1>2. Bullish on Solana</h1>
<p>Plaintext is still focusing a relevant portion of of its investment analysis on Solana. Although the protocol faced big challenges in 2022, ranging from network outages, FTX association, and overall decrease on popularity given poor price performance, Solana is still sitting at less than 4% the market cap of Ethereum. With a team focused on business development, enhanced UX, low fees and improved transaction speeds, Solana could be a better investment opportunity than what the market is currently pricing in.</p>
<h1>3. Market Regime is Slowly Shifting</h1>
<p>Although the Fed continues to embrace a hawkish monetary policy, which Andres admits has a negative effect on risk assets, he believes the market regime is slowly shifting. With inflation continuing to decrease and the Fed acting as a liquidity backstop as cracks appear in the banking system, the Fed may soon embrace a monetary policy that is more supportive of digital assets going forward.</p>
