Greg Chipolaro: “The investment landscape of the cryptocurrency market is beginning to contract.”, 2026/02/23 12:55:27

The head of analytics at New York Digital Investment Group (NYDIG), Greg Cipolaro, indicated that the “investment universe” of the cryptocurrency market is gradually contracting.
The number of projects and applications capable of attracting investor interest is steadily declining, but Cipolaro emphasized that this should not be interpreted as a degradation of the sector.
“The investment landscape of cryptocurrencies is narrowing down to applications or services that enhance traditional financial products through blockchain infrastructure. This is occurring because centralized systems will always be faster, cheaper, and more operationally efficient for the vast majority of corporate and consumer applications,” stated the NYDIG executive.
In his view, solutions that demonstrate blockchain advantages outweighing its drawbacks will survive in the market, with capital concentrating in a few key categories.
Cipolaro suggested that this narrowing of use cases could enhance the resilience of long-term projects, particularly those linked to traditional financial infrastructure. Meanwhile, the overall capitalization of the cryptocurrency market is unlikely to increase significantly, as was anticipated a few years ago.
Previously, analysts from the asset management firm WisdomTree noted that the cyclical growth and decline model of Bitcoin is weakening, and institutional investors will play a crucial role in the cryptocurrency market in the coming years.
