Multicoin Capital first gAIned huge attention with a number of crypto investment articles, and then became famous for successfully betting on well-known projects such as the high-performance chain Solana in the last bull market cycle, and became one of the top VCs. However, after the FTX incident, the negative aftermath has not disappeared. Multicion, which was made by Solana, also failed because of Solana. In December 2022, it admitted that it had suffered heavy losses, and the asset size plummeted by 90% that year, which shocked the public.

For a time, there was a constant stream of criticism from the public, and discussions about Multicions incompetence or innocence were rampant. Now, as the controversy fades away and the bull market is here, Multicoin has regained its momentum amid the rising price of crypto assets.

In its annual letter to investors in March 2024, Multicoin Capitals cryptocurrency-focused hedge fund has generated a 9,281% return for its first investors since 2017. This return rate is enough to make up for Multicoin Capitals 91.4% loss in 2022. Multicoin executives Tushar Jain, Kyle Samani and Matt Shapiro said in the letter: In 2023, cryptocurrency did what it does best and defeated death again. The market rebounded in spectacular fashion, and our hedge fund was able to capture the markets reaction and significantly outperformed the market.

Looking at Multicoins investment portfolio, it is more fond of infrastructure such as public chains and DeFi. At the same time, it is also a VC that dares to lead in various types of investment and financing. Foresight News takes stock of its ecological map for you one by one.
