Investment thesis
Portal Ventures argues that being broadly 'bullish' or 'bearish' on crypto is meaningless, and instead breaks the space into distinct categories with different risk/reward profiles. They see finance moving on-chain and are bullish on blockchain technology adoption and continued institutional Bitcoin allocation. They view blockchain-enabled businesses (both C-Corps like Coinbase and revenue-generating protocols like Uniswap) as the most investable category today given clear product-market fit and reduced regulatory risk. They invest with high conviction in decentralized networks such as Ethereum and Solana, expecting extreme power laws, and are excited by the high-risk, high-reward category of new store-of-value monetary assets. As a venture fund, they underwrite long time horizons.
