【Crypto World】A well-known cryptocurrency fund is making a heavy bet in 2026. According to the latest developments, the fund’s risk exposure has reached near historic highs, with stablecoin holdings pushed to very low levels, and almost all chips are invested in high-risk assets—especially privacy coins (like ZEC) and emerging DeFi tokens.
The interesting part of this shift lies in the timeline. Remember early 2025? At that time, the fund was still in a defensive stance. But by mid-last year, it did a 180-degree turn and started “maximizing long positions.” Now, at the start of 2026, the level of aggressiveness has increased even further.
Why dare to gamble like this? The fund manager pointed out several key macro factors: the U.S. fiscal deficit continues to grow, and the Federal Reserve’s liquidity expectations remain optimistic. Against this backdrop, risk assets—especially highly volatile altcoins—are indeed more likely to attract capital. This isn’t reckless gambling without logic; it’s a view based on economic cycles.
Notably, the fund recently made a strategic investment in a stablecoin startup, which may suggest that their overall ecosystem layout is more comprehensive—they are betting on the risk side while also positioning themselves on the infrastructure side.

This move is truly bold. If privacy coins and DeFi take off, we can really reap the benefits.

Stablecoins are going down, gamblers are all in on DeFi. Can this wave turn things around?

Privacy coins and DeFi bottom-fishing this round, it seems they are really all in... However, investing in stablecoin startups is still necessary, this approach is indeed quite interesting.

Are privacy coins and DeFi about to rise? I don't think so; it actually feels a bit like gambling...

ngl, dumping stables to go all-in on privacy coins screams "portfolio anxiety talking"... they're just reframing FOMO as macro thesis lmao

Stablecoins cut to the lowest? This fund really dares to play, jumping into privacy coins and DeFi... Is this how you handle a fiscal deficit?

Privacy coins and DeFi can rise this time, stablecoins will have to step aside, this logic makes sense
