Matty Tay on Why Colosseum is Betting $60M on "Cypherpunk" Startups

We sit down with Matty Tay, co-founder of Colosseum, live from Solana Breakpoint 2025 to discuss the massive shift happening in the Solana ecosystem. Matty reveals why the "institutional" narrative is peaking and why the pendulum is swinging back to "Cypherpunk" roots of privacy, decentralization, and non-sovereign money. We cover Colosseum's $60M fund thesis, the rise of niche stablecoins, and exactly what he looks for in founders (hint: it's not the product). Plus, Matty shares his top predictions for 2026, including the resurgence of DeFi and why we might see a move away from "suits" back to the "hoodies."
