Pantera Capital believes that a reason for crypto sell-off is tax-related
Pantera Capital, the firm behind the first crypto fund in the United States, has released a report which says that around $1.4 trillion of cryptocurrency capital gains were made in 2021, and the recent sell-off period is a result of people taking profits. It also said that the incoming Tax Day for America on April 18th might affect cryptocurrencies prices.
Pantera Capital releases a detailed report
Pantera Capital talked about the cryptocurrency market and taxes in its recent February Blockchain Letter, which confirmed that taxes are a major reason why cryptocurrency prices are falling. The firm pointed out that "after the three previous big run-ups – 2013, 2017, and 2020 – and this one, 2021 – bitcoin peaked 35 days before Tax Day and then declined to a local trough as investors sold off assets to cover taxes accrued in 2020.Pantera Capital believes that a similar situation might be witnessed this year as well when Tax Day approaches on April 18th. The firm said that since many 'new investors' are 'all-in' on cryptocurrencies, they sell off their cryptocurrencies to pay off their taxes because liquidation is the only choice they have.
The firm also added that in order to meet the tax requirements from the new government policies, a 'decent chunk' of capital might've been erased from the market.
Blockchain Fund
Pantera Capital has added an additional closing for the Pantera Blockchain Fund, which will be March 1st. The Fund is a "new 'all-in-one' wrapper for the entire spectrum of blockchain assets," and the firm believes that this Fund will be the "most efficient way to get exposure to the blockchain as an asset class."The Fund has invested in nearly 41 early-stage token projects, and as noted by Cryptonary, the firm had also invested in Arbitrum One, an Ethereum scaling solution developer Off Chain Labs. Others investors in the field included Polychain Capital, Alameda Research, Redpoint Ventures, Ribit Capital, and Mark Cuban.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
