Quick Take

  • Crypto firms are having trouble accessing venture capital like many other companies – but they may have other things to worry about as well
  • Many early-stage crypto companies received their last checks a year or two ago, and these firms were looking for fundraising or M&A opportunities even before the coronavirus pandemic hit
  • The DeFi space’s lack of viable business models may render them more vulnerable if and when VC firms cut off additional funding.
