Alfred Chuang, general partner of venture capital firm Race Capital, said the organization expects bullishness in Bitcoin and DeFi platform Solana and is optimistic about the future of layer one (L1) blockchains. Chuang also shares why the demand for altcoin projects in this space is increasing.
Tier one altcoin projects provide financial diversification
Speaking to CNBC, Chuang stated that the excitement around cryptocurrencies is driven by the demand for generalized financial products that come with democratization and therefore reach more people. According to Chuang, the potential growth of cryptocurrencies is the ‘most exciting time’ in technology, mainly due to its decentralized nature, which eliminates the need for intermediaries. As for the phrase “We are on the rise,” Chuang shared in the CNBC statement:
We are optimistic about other first-tier cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Solana. There is an enthusiasm in trading currencies to create financial products that will be much more generalized and more democratized to reach a much wider audience.
