Due to Venice's dual-track model of tokens + equity, many are concerned that equity will dilute the value capture of the $VVV token, thus interpreting it as bearish. But
AI visual analysis: The image shows a translated tweet from Erik Voorhees (@ErikVoorhees) explaining that part of the $65M Series A funding will go toward vertical integration of compute resources and building Venice's first data center, with the rest allocated to customer growth, new market expansion, acquisitions, and hiring. This relates to the accompanying post by illustrating Voorhees's own rationale for the funding, showing how the capital is intended to support infrastructure and expansion rather than undermine $VVV token value.
· 2026-07-02T03:10:46+00:00I use Venice quite a lot, big fan of the service they provide, but this is probably the worst thing they could've tweeted while trying to preserve the perception that VVV is a business growth aligned asset Whether it's their intention or not, it's now obvious to token market
AI visual analysis: The image, titled "Tokens Considered A Junior Investment Class," is a slide from a "State of Token Markets" presentation by Delphi Consulting showing case studies of token holders getting little to no investor rights during acquisitions—including Pump.fun→Padre (-76%), SOL Strategies→HoudiniSwap (LOCK zero allocation), Circle→Interop Labs (AXL explicitly excluded), and Coinbase/Base→Iron Fish (team walked). The post criticizes Venice for sharing this content, as it explicitly categorizes tokens as "junior" to equity—undermining the narrative that VVV offers business-growth alignment comparable to equity holders. **Image text:** Title: "Tokens Considered A Junior Investment Class" Subtitle: "When a company gets bought, the token gets nothing. Equity captures the value; tokens carry no enforceable claim." Body: "Token holders have historically had little to no investor rights. Teams issue them to raise capital but seldom implement enforceable rights. And this has to change." "When the company
· 2026-07-02T17:56:00+00:00The market reaction to the VVV equity raise tells us everything we need to know about what the biggest narrative for the bull run will be. It’s not AI. It’s not Robotics. It’s not tokenized equities. Think broader. It’s onchain startups which encompasses all these narratives
· 2026-07-02T12:36:30+00:00So VVV went up 20% but then retraced the entire move on news of their equity financing Initially seen as bullish, then the market walked it back as discussions around equity-token conflict popped up GRASS fell a bit after they announced USDC rewards for nodes, but is now up 13%
· 2026-07-02T20:22:10+00:00The Venice raise is being framed as one of the cleanest dual-structure deals in crypto, but I think it proves the opposite. Equity gets 8.98% of the company, a $VVV grant, and an 8-year at-the-money warrant struck at spot. Token holders get a $3M annual buyback budget against a

· 2026-07-02T01:07:06+00:00Last thing I’ll say on the Venice + Grass token debate today. It appears both teams are well-intentioned and are building good businesses. But the current dual token + equity paradigm is, at best, too risky for the largest pools of capital to underwrite. Fundamentally, the

· 2026-07-02T08:55:43+00:00Yep. And that would make zero sense if we were moving toward equity and away from token. Venice is likely the only project to achieve this scale while selling zero tokens. Hopefully our actions speak at least as loudly as our words.
· 2026-07-02T16:24:33+00:00People aren’t understanding $VVV and why it has value. This isn’t some 2016 era ICO that masquerades as pseudo equity and has no value. The token itself is used for Ai compute power - that’s the value.
