The great infrastructure pivot
The insights from the CfC St. Moritz report serve as a roadmap for the future of crypto investing. Based on responses from 242 influential attendees, including institutional investors, founders, C-suite executives, and regulators, the survey paints a clear picture of shifting priorities.
A staggering 85% of respondents selected infrastructure as their top funding priority, placing it ahead of DeFi, compliance, cybersecurity, and user experience. This pivot is driven by a recognition that the industry’s most pressing risk is no longer technology, but liquidity.
Respondents flagged liquidity shortages as a critical issue, indicating that capital deployment is becoming more selective. This macro trend directly affects how investors evaluate early-stage token launches. Projects that contribute to market stability, transparency, and data clarity are now the gold standard.
