Vitalik Buterin has stopped working with Chinese investment firm Fenbushi Capital

Vitalik Buterin has stopped working with Chinese investment firm Fenbushi Capital

Fenbushi was founded in 2015. This fifty million dollar fund was one of the first to actively invest in blockchain companies, in the form of seed investments and participation in ICOs. Being one of the most famous funds of its kind, it has acquired shares of dozens of companies. Undoubtedly, his success was facilitated by his connection with Buterin, whose name is synonymous with the airwaves.

In recent months, Buterin has repeatedly persistently asked members of the cryptocurrency community to engage in product development, and not to contemplate their own navel. At the time he was making these admonitions to users, the price of ether, the Ethereum Foundation's token, was skyrocketing. On January 4, 2018, Ether broke the $1,000 mark for the first time, a solid increase from the $10 per token price the year before.


Ether's early investors have become fabulously rich thanks to this rise, as have investors in Bitcoin and some other cryptocurrencies, but there is concern that rising fees will stifle innovation. The main problem, as Buterin has repeatedly pointed out, is that ether has never become a full-fledged market product. 

Most likely, Buterin’s departure will be a serious blow for Fenbushi. Undoubtedly, having the “face of Ethereum” on the site is a successful commercial move, especially in the investment business, where competition is great. Cynics will say that Fenbushi stuck with Buterin for this reason. But whatever you say, Fenbushi has been in the investment field for a long time and has created a name for itself, although now it will have to act independently. Although Buterin emphasized that he will remain an adviser to the company.
