Well-known crypto investment firm CoinFund announces a major strategic adjustment—separating its liquidity management business into an independent operation. The new company is led by Seth Ginns and Chris Perkins. The original organization will continue to be managed by Jake Brukhman, Alex Felix, and David Pakman, shifting focus to the venture capital track. This spin-off aims to provide more specialized and targeted services for institutional LP( limited partners and Web3 entrepreneurs. This move reflects the segmentation trend in the crypto venture capital ecosystem, with leading institutions focusing their business to enhance competitiveness in their respective fields.

Splitting up again, it's another split. These days, leading institutions all like to do this. CoinFund's move is quite clever; just handle liquidity separately. I heard Seth and Chris are going to be independent? Then the original team can focus on the VC track, which seems to allow for concentrated efforts. Specialization is indeed the trend, but I wonder if future collaboration might become a bit fragmented. Institutions are all competing in professionalism; does anyone really want to be a jack-of-all-trades anymore? How long can this splitting model stay stable, or is it just another round of fundraising under a different guise?

Splitting has its reasons, but honestly, I've seen this process many times before—it's just cutting the cake into two pieces to sell better. I'm optimistic that Seth and his team can come up with some new ideas for liquidity; otherwise, it's just a rehash of the same old story. Jake and his team focusing on VC isn't a problem; LPs are just into this professional story anyway, and the money still needs to be spent. In the past two years, institutions have been subdividing into niche tracks; frankly, it's just too competitive, and there's no other choice.

ngl this is just institutional maturation theater... they're splitting because liquidity management attracts different LPs than venture risk appetite. nothing groundbreaking but yeah, makes sense from an incentive alignment perspective

Splitting and splitting again, CoinFund, are you going for specialization? It seems that big institutions have been competing in niche tracks over the past few years. Can liquidity management stand alone and survive? It feels like this game is being played a bit chaotically. But indeed, it must be acknowledged that institutions with strong focus are now more favored.
