Some major crypto-focused venture firms are doubling down on a bold strategy: they're not just backing projects, they're actively shaping the ecosystem itself. The approach? Influence policy conversations, build their own platforms, leverage existing networks—then watch portfolio companies benefit from the tailwinds. Insiders close to these firms suggest the strategy is working. Whether through regulatory connections or ecosystem momentum, early bets are starting to compound in the companies' favor.

This is just capital manipulating the game—first securing policies, then building the ecosystem, and finally making their own project a huge success.

Isn't this just the old trick of venture capital? It sounds good, but essentially it's just banding together for mutual comfort.

Basically, it's about setting up a scheme, using money and connections to manipulate the ecosystem in circles. When your own project naturally takes off, this strategy is truly clever.

Basically, it's just big players manipulating the market, controlling public opinion and policies to pump their own coins. This tactic has been around for a long time.
