The sixth investment from C1 Fund highlights the attractiveness of Web3 infrastructure

2025-12-15 12:26:16

【ChainNews】 Recently saw that crypto fund C1 Fund has taken action again—this time targeting ConsenSys. Although the specific amount was not disclosed, this investment is quite interesting.

Since its IPO in August this year, C1 Fund has announced six investments in total, and the addition of ConsenSys actually reflects ongoing institutional focus on Web3 infrastructure. Looking at their investment list reveals the pattern—Kraken is a leading exchange, Ripple has been active in the payments space for years, and Figment, Chainalysis, and Alchemy are all indispensable infrastructure players.

The composition logic of this investment portfolio is very clear: it includes both entry points for trading liquidity and support for data analysis and smart contract toolchains. As an important participant in the Ethereum ecosystem, ConsenSys can provide comprehensive solutions from development to compliance, which explains why it is favored by institutions.

This also reminds us that the future competition in Web3 is not just about price fluctuations but also about the improvement of infrastructure and tools.

Infrastructure is indeed a hard requirement, but not revealing the amount is a bit shady. Is this true or false? I see through ConsenSys's move; it's about ecosystem complementarity. But after this round of funding, can Ethereum make a comeback? The C1 Fund combo punch is quite well-planned, but I just don't know if they can keep up in the future. The investment list looks good, but I'm worried it might just be paper wealth. These days, everyone claims to be infrastructure... To be honest, it feels a bit like following the trend, but ConsenSys is indeed solid. The logic makes sense, but I'm more curious about when they'll start making money. Infrastructure is correct, but has the ecosystem really taken off? It still feels like the old routine.

Infrastructure is being consolidated, and now it has truly become an institutional game. --- ConsenSys's move feels like laying a network... Exchanges, payments, and toolchains are all in place. --- C1's approach is quite aggressive; from IPO to now, six investments have been made, building the entire Web3 ecosystem chain. --- Everyone is investing in infrastructure; compliance is the key, otherwise all these tools are useless. --- As you watch, you realize it's just a fear of lacking liquidity, so they want to get involved in everything. --- Ripple has been laying out for so long, yet it’s still being noticed? The institutional bottom-fishing is very obvious. --- This investment logic is basically betting that Web3 as a whole won't die — a bit of a gambler's mentality. --- After ConsenSys joined, the Ethereum ecosystem's influence is probably going to become even more concentrated. --- Institutions are making big moves, but it still feels like bottom-fishing. Small investors like us might as well take the plunge.

Institutions are really quietly building infrastructure, while we retail investors are still focused on those air coins... We need to quickly adjust our mindset. ConsenSys's move is really impressive. Once the toolchain in the Ethereum ecosystem is complete, the potential for future imagination is enormous. C1's investment logic is so clear that it's a little scary, covering everything from trading to data to development tools. Clearly paving the way for the infrastructure race of the future. Not revealing the amount this time actually makes me more nervous. Often, that's when the big moves happen... Why do I feel like I missed something? When it comes to infrastructure, it's really a slow process. Don't rush, but definitely don't miss out. Is ConsenSys going to explode? The era of making quick money is gone. Looks like I have to play the long-term infrastructure game, but unfortunately, I only have shilled altcoins. Looking at Ripple, Kraken, and Alchemy together, this investment portfolio's defensive ability is outstanding. I don't understand, but I guess this is paving the way for the next bull market. Institutions never make losing trades. Is it still possible to get on board with ConsenSys, everyone? It feels like the infrastructure sector is about to take off.

Infrastructure is really the most valued by institutions this round, which makes sense... After all, no one would be willing to participate without useful tools.

Hmm... Infrastructure is indeed a relatively stable choice, but investing in these old players feels a bit boring. I need to see how ConsenSys' move plays out. C1 Fund's investment logic sounds convincing, but the real profitability depends on execution. Why are these the only projects? Is there no fresh blood? Good infrastructure is great, but it feels a bit overrated.
