Shift in Du Jun's ABCDE Strategy Influencing Cryptocurrency Market Movements
In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrencies, several significant developments have emerged in recent times.
Du Jun, co-founder of ABCDE and Huobi, has predicted that Ethereum's price could potentially reach $20,000. However, public data as of mid-2025 does not confirm that ABCDE has shifted its strategy away from Web3 investments.
Meanwhile, the Philippine SEC has taken a firm stance, blocking major offshore crypto exchanges from accessing the country. This move is expected to have a ripple effect on the crypto market, particularly in Southeast Asia.
ABCDE, in a shift of strategy, has put new Web3 investments on hold. This decision has sparked cautious reactions from the community, with developers and investors speculating on the potential impacts. Shifts by major funds like ABCDE may lead to temporary slowdowns in funding rounds for early-stage projects.
Despite this, other prominent funds such as Hashkey Capital continue to actively invest in projects across DeFi, Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchain infrastructure, and Bitcoin ecosystem DeFi infrastructure, with multiple recent investments in mid-2025 totaling millions of USD. This suggests that at least some major players remain committed to funding Web3 and blockchain layer infrastructure including Ethereum L2 and Bitcoin-related projects.
Technical upgrades continue on Ethereum L2, such as the forthcoming Ethereum Fusaka upgrade aimed at Layer 2 cost reductions. These upgrades imply ongoing technical progress on Ethereum L2 without mention of negative funding impacts.
In other crypto news, Bitcoin has surged amid U.S.-India trade tensions, demonstrating the digital currency's resilience in the face of geopolitical uncertainties.

The long-term outcomes of these developments remain dependent on market reactions and broader economic conditions. Current investments in Bitcoin and Ethereum will still receive support.
