The post Altcoin Market Reaches Extreme Underperformance, 40% of Coins Trade Near Their ATL appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
One of the major drivers of this underperformance is the low liquidity despite thousands of coins being created and added to the market daily.

One of crypto’s most powerful venture firms is making a bold bet that the next frontier isn’t just blockchain.

Paradigm has raised $1.2 billion for a new venture fund focused on artificial intelligence and robotics, according to a blog post Wednesday. The firm’s third venture fund reflects growing interest in AI and defense technology, though it does not signal an exit from digital assets. “Crypto was the first frontier for us, and it continues to be a really exciting one, but there’s so much else happening right now that’s pretty hard to ignore,” managing partner Alana Palmedo told Bloomberg. Paradigm has already deployed capital from the new fund into several companies, including autonomous drone delivery company Zipline International, which was valued at $7.6 billion in January, and space defense startup True Anomaly, which reached a $2.2 billion valuation in April.

Crypto News Paradigm, one of the crypto industry’s largest venture investors, has raised $1.2 billion for a new fund dedicated to artificial intelligence and robotics — its most explicit push yet beyond digital assets. The vehicle, the firm’s third venture fund, closed on Wednesday and signals a broadening strategy rather than a retreat from crypto. Managing partner Alana Palmedo described digital assets as the firm’s first frontier and still a compelling market, while acknowledging that developments elsewhere in technology had become too significant to ignore. The raise lands as Bitcoin trades near $62,000, down sharply on the year, underscoring how capital is rotating toward AI across the broader altcoin market. Founded in 2018 by Matt Huang, a former Sequoia Capital partner, and Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam, Paradigm built its reputation backing protocol-level crypto proje
