Crypto Industry Enters 'Show Me' Era as Institutional Adoption Demands Proven Results Over Vision
By
Jake Vance
Summary
The cryptocurrency sector has shifted from a speculative 'vision-first' phase to a 'Show Me' era where projects must demonstrate tangible value and functional utility. Institutional adoption by major players like BlackRock and JPMorgan has raised the bar, making mainnet performance and proven results more important than roadmaps and Minimum Viable Products. Paul Cafiero of a16z Crypto notes that the previous logic of an MVP and roadmap being sufficient for industry recognition is no longer applicable as of June 2023.
