How Smart Crypto Funds Find Winners Before Everyone Else
Most people in crypto are not researching projects — they are reacting to noise.
A tweet goes viral.
A chart turns green.
An influencer says something is “early.”
And suddenly everyone is trying to find the next big blockchain project.
But how do serious crypto funds actually think?
Watch it here: https://youtu.be/ZxPBOGudCfw
In this episode of Dads Gone Crypto, we sit down with Sam Hallene from CMT Digital to unpack how professional investors evaluate blockchain projects before the public hype begins.
We explore how funds allocate capital, what due diligence really looks like, how they judge founders, what red flags they avoid, and why stablecoins, tokenisation and blockchain rails may become some of the most important infrastructure stories in finance.
This is not a “what coin should I buy?” episode.
This is a “how do serious investors separate signal from noise?” episode.

✅How crypto funds evaluate blockchain projects
✅What makes a founder investable
✅The red flags and green flags serious investors look for
