Crypto Enthusiasts and Industry experts are expecting a lengthy crypto winter looking at the current conditions. However, Sandeep Nailwal, the co-founder of Polygon is of the opinion that in the long term Web3 is going to be bullish. The co-founder explained that the correction is more related to “macro” instead of fundamental weakness in the Web3 sector.
Naliwal posted a series of tweets that predicted bullish trends for Web3 despite the current market situation.
He then goes on to ask newbies to keep exploring and learning while builders should keep building as “Long-term Web3 remains mega-mega bullish.”
Nailwal further notes that if the Fed successfully manages to “remove” the uncertainty in the market, there could be a stop and proposed that “there is a lot of dry powder sitting on the sidelines to bring in aggressive bull rallies.” But taking into account the sticky inflation and stagflation concerns, such a scenario appears highly gloomy. He further added that most of them will also play in liquid markets.
Many VCs have increased a notable amount of capital. According to Nailwal, these entities even though would take a cautious approach in choosing their bets and acceptable valuations would be much lower but the exec expects the “thesis-based VCs to keep deploying.
The co-founder also estimated that after inflation hits a peak in the 3-6 months when Fed increases rates, the markets will eventually be able to find a bottom. Naliwal says that only after this “things become normal.”
