How Foresight Ventures Is Approaching Investments in the Current Market Environment

The Foresight Ventures founding and partnership team includes veterans of some of the top financial and technology firms dedicated to sourcing and supporting the next generation of disruptive innovations across Web3. They believe the future is multi-chain and thus the chains that find product market fit will all need partners to help expand their ecosystems. They hope to become that partner, investing early and supporting their ecosystems by holding and providing resources for growth.

Tony Cheng, general partner from Foresight Ventures, recently joined the Bitcoin.com News Podcast to talk about the market:

Tony graduated from Nankai University with a BSc in Applied Mathematics, then went on to the University of Oxford for post-graduate studies resulting in a MSc in Financial Economics. After graduation Tony worked as a management consultant at Oliver Wyman in HK, mainly covering financial services and Fintech clients in the APAC region. After doing many consulting projects for Fintech companies, Tony left management consulting and moved into venture capital at Sequoia Capital China, mainly covering global fintech and enterprise services. Tony participated in many leading Fintech deals including Toss, Opay, CPIC, Sumscope and many others.

In 2021, Tony joined 3G Capital to lead their APAC TMT Growth investing efforts with a focus on China. In 2022, Tony transitioned to an advisor role for 3G Capital given the difficulty of regulatory environment in China. He then joined Foresight Ventures as a general partner, helping to cover emerging Web3/crypto related deals and lead fundraising for Bitget Exchange and Bitkeep Wallet. Tony is interested in crypto infrastructure, scaling solutions and applications that bridge CeFi and DeFi and felt that joining an exchange/wallet ecosystem would be one where he could provide most value to portfolio companies.

According to an International Business Times report , Montenegro’s Supreme Court decided to extend the detention of TerraForm Labs founder and CEO Do Kwon until February 2024, following extradition requests from the United States and South Korea. Closed-Door Discussions Reveal Montenegro’s Plan For Do Kwon Initially set to be extradited to the US on December 15, Do Kwon’s fate turned when the Montenegrin High Court ruled to prolong his stay until February 15, 2024. The decision stems from charges related to the collapse of the TerraUSD stablecoin, which led to significant financial losses. The High Court had previously ordered Kwon’s extradition by Friday, but his defense team appealed the decision in the appellate court in Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro. The Montenegrin Court of Appeal confirmed that Kwon contested the High Court’s ruling, vehemently stating, “I do not submit to the court’s decision.” Recent reports indicate that Montenegro’s Justice Minister, Andrej Mil

As the crypto market ended March positively, the industry gears up for an eventful April, marked by crucial developments and milestones that could significantly impact the digital asset landscape.  Crypto Halvings And Regulatory Deadlines The month starts with the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) halving event scheduled for April 2nd. Similar to Bitcoin (BTC), BCH undergoes a halving approximately every four years, which reduces mining profits for BCH miners.  On April 10, the US is scheduled to announce March’s Consumer Price Index (CPI), a vital indicator that measures the average price change paid by urban consumers for a basket of goods and services.  The Federal Reserve closely monitors the CPI as it influences inflation and, consequently, the central bank’s decisions regarding interest rates. Any changes in interest rates can ripple effect on the overall crypto market performance. April 19 marks the deadline for the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and US crypto exchange Coin
