Moonrock Capi2026-10-03 09:15:53Moonrock Capital’s Simon Dedic calls out Pacman and criticizes the NFT marketSimon Dedic, CEO and partner at crypto investment firm Moonrock Capital, used X to publicly criticize Pacman, the founder behind NFT marketplace Blur and Layer 2 network Blast. In his post, Dedic said he could not understand the choices made by founders like Pacman, arguing that Pacman had already built a strong market position through protocols including Blur and Blast while also attracting backing from top investors and significant public attention. Dedic said those advantages were not used to build a larger product with longer-term staying power. Instead, he accused Pacman of choosing to extract as much value as possible in the short term and move quickly toward profit. Dedic added that this kind of behavior is not rare in crypto, and said that is exactly why the market should place more value on honest builders who refuse to take the path of least resistance. If such people can be identified, he said, they are the ones worth staying long on.20
Policy Regula2026-09-15 10:30:41Simon Dedic says U.S. crypto could still see favorable regulation even if the CLARITY Act failsMoonrock Capital founder Simon Dedic said the upcoming U.S. Senate vote on the CLARITY Act may disappoint market expectations, but he still expects the American crypto industry to end up with a clearer regulatory path. He noted that Democrats have already voiced opposition to the Republican version of the bill over what he described as ethical concerns, while Polymarket odds tied to the legislation have fallen noticeably. In his view, the market has largely priced in the possibility of a weaker-than-expected vote outcome. Dedic argued that even if the bill does not pass, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission could still advance crypto measures with similar practical effects. He also warned that if Washington remains unable to move crypto legislation forward for too long, some crypto companies may shift business overseas, weakening the country’s lead in frontier finance. Even so, he said the United States is unlikely to allow that scenario to continue, leaving room for a supportive regulatory backdrop regardless of the final vote.540
Moonrock Capi2026-09-15 08:55:48Moonrock founder says SEC could deliver similarly crypto-friendly policy even if Clarity failsMoonrock Capital founder Simon Dedic said in a post on X that a Senate vote on the Clarity bill was expected in about 10 hours, while Democrats had already verbally rejected the Republican draft over what he mocked as "ethics concerns." He added that the implied odds on Polymarket had collapsed and that the market had already priced in a likely failure for the bill. Even so, Dedic said he was looking forward to the vote because it would allow the industry to move past the issue and shift attention to what he described as more important matters. In his view, if the bill does not pass, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission could still roll out regulatory measures that are similarly supportive of crypto. If that also fails to happen, he argued, Democrats would bear responsibility for surrendering U.S. leadership in frontier finance and allowing some of the world’s most dynamic companies to move offshore.600
