Crypto investor Zaheer Ebtikar announced the closure of his hedge fund, Split Capital, citing the inefficiency of this business model for the digital asset industry. https://t.co/YQu55Ky5cd— Zaheer (@SplitCapital) April 7, 2026 According to him, Split Capital, founded in 2024, was profitable throughout its existence, achieving a net return of 100%. Despite the fund being "one of the best by all metrics," Ebtikar decided to close the business, as such a structure "does not make sense for the crypto industry in the long term." Unlike traditional assets, the crypto sector: is rapidly changing and fragmented; depends on tokenomics and network effects; combines venture and public markets in one environment. The number of quality projects is decreasing, and many crypto companies are merely simulating business, he added. The primary option for long-term investments has effectively become the liquid token market. Most investments are aimed at quick profits rather than supporting functional and viable products, Ebtikar believes. "After more than $100 billion in venture funding and six years of euphoria, we have returned to a humbling starting point. Investors, operators, and traders are asking the same question: 'What will the future be and where is the value?'" stated the founder of Split Capital. Ebtikar decided to focus on participating in the stablecoin settlement project Plasma, being one of the early team members. He will take on the role of strategic director of the EVM-compatible L1 platform operator. The investor described the "stablecoin" sector and Plasma as a "new era" capable of scaling to meet the demand for "trillions of dollars in settlements" through integration with traditional financial systems. Earlier in March, Sami Start, founder of infrastructure provider Transak, noted that venture funds have become more selective and reduced the number of deals in the crypto industry.

The indicator still remains in the extreme fear zone.  Source: Alternative.me.  Source of Optimism  The rise in risk appetite occurred due to a temporary ceasefire between the US and Iran. US President Donald Trump stated that the parties agreed to a two-week ceasefire. 🚨 President Donald J. Trump makes a statement on Iran: pic.twitter.com/9mqTayL0Q3— The White House (@WhiteHouse) April 7, 2026 "The reason for the ceasefire is that we have completed and overachieved all military objectives. We are now at an advanced stage of developing a long-term peace agreement with Iran. Iran has put forward 10 conditions, and we consider them an acceptable basis for dialogue," he wrote.  Trump also published an official statement from Iran: Tehran guarantees safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Previously, the blockade of this strategic route caused sharp fluctuations in oil prices and disrupted global energy supplies.  Brent crude fell by 15% to $92 per barrel. WTI futures showed a similar trend, dropping by 16% to $94.7. Before the ceasefire, oil was trading above $100.  Despite the sharp rise in the crypto market, analysts are not convinced that the two-week ceasefire will lay the foundation for a change in the overall trend.  "Uncertainty about the fulfillment of conditions, the threat of new escalation, and macroeconomic pressure could limit growth if investor sentiment shifts," noted LVRG director Nick Rack. Zeus Research analyst Dominic John added that a sustainable rally will depend on stable macro conditions and structural capital inflows into the sector.  Back in April, Coin Bureau head Nick Pakrin called the Bitcoin level below $68,000 "dangerous." According to him, a significant negative gamma has accumulated in the options market at this level, which could crash the price to $60,000.
