Crypto VC Has Nearly Stalled in Two Years, Talent Flows to AI, Says Compound's Dempsey

According to ChainCatcher, Michael Dempsey, managing partner at Compound, said on October 13 that crypto venture capital has nearly stalled over the past two years, with talent increasingly drawn to AI instead of crypto entrepreneurship. Dempsey noted that the industry faces challenges with talent retention and token incentive structures, as tokenization, despite its benefits, does not support long-term alignment. He highlighted that investment opportunities are emerging in tokens that have completed distribution and can be analyzed on fundamental grounds rather than narrative alone.
