DFG Founder & CEO James Wo @realjameswo joined the panel "Web3 Venture in 2026: What Still Gets Funded" at Proof of Talk 2026 @proofoftalk , where he shared his views on capital allocation, infrastructure maturity, and value capture in the current cycle.
Key points:
- Capital rotation to AI is healthy long-term. Liquidity has shifted from crypto into AI, pressuring weaker projects. But this forces more efficient capital allocation toward top-tier projects with real products. Hyperliquid is up 3x this year despite the bear market.
- Infrastructure is largely solved. Scalability and security concerns from a few years ago are mostly addressed. On-chain security is better than a few years ago, whereas centralized exchanges still face more hacks. DFG's investment focus is shifting from infrastructure toward applications.
- Token vs. equity is a non-issue for investors. Licensed CeFi businesses should pursue equity/IPO, while on-chain platforms like Hyperliquid accrue value via tokens. What matters is which vehicle captures the project's value.
- The stablecoin trap. Stablecoins will grow as a category, but that doesn't mean any specific investment captures that growth. Tether and USDC still dominate, and algorithmic stablecoins remain niche, highly reliant on use cases.
The Official Investor Dinner at Proof of Talk 2026 was the back table of Web3 for one night in Paris.
Co-hosted by @DFG__Official and @v3v_ventures, the evening gathered some of the most active funds and most consequential builders in digital assets for the conversations that turn into term sheets between the courses.
Just the room everyone else spends a year trying to get into.
Thank you, DFG and V3V Ventures.
A memorable evening in Paris. DFG and @v3v_ventures co-hosted the investor dinner at Proof of Talk @proofoftalk last week. Great to have so many incredible investors at the table. 🇫🇷
The dinner that turns 12 months of fund partner meetings into one evening.

TradFi's infrastructure was built for a different era. As stablecoins move from crypto-native rails onto institutional balance sheets, the questions aren't only regulatory—they're operational. Can legacy data systems handle real-time settlement, 24/7 liquidity, and the transparency demands of on-chain finance? Join us for a Twitter Space where we unpack whether TradFi's data stack is ready for the stablecoin era.
The bank lobby threat to stablecoins is real. These are the same institutions that fought ATMs through the courts. Yield-bearing non-bank products threaten their business model. Expect maximum resistance.
Terry Culver, President of DFG, dropped some sharp takes on stablecoins, RWAs & institutional liquidity on a LinkedIn Live panel by @MPMLabs_xyz. Here are Terry's takes 🧵

Circle's model is high volume, low margin, and heavily Fed rate-dependent. That's not a foundation for long-term sustainability. The space needs stablecoin designs that break free from central bank rate cycles.
