John Wang, head of crypto business at Kalshi, said Sam Bankman-Fried is not a top-tier VC, pointing to Leopold Aschenbrenner of Situational Awareness as the real key player. Situational Awareness, backed by Jane Street and managing over $20 billion, has delivered a 2.7x return this year and over 10x since launch. The fund holds 20% of Anthropic and co-led the MatX round, also participating in Fluidstack’s project funding news. This shift highlights top altcoin news and major project funding news in the space.

Situational Awareness has achieved a 2.7x return this year and more than a 10x cumulative return since its inception. Equity stakes in Anthropic account for one-fifth of its assets. Situational Awareness co-led the investment in MatX alongside Jane Street and participated in the funding of Fluidstack.
