Paradigm Co-Founder Compares Current Crypto Era to Netscape and iPhone Moments

According to ChainCatcher, Matt Huang, co-founder of the crypto investment firm Paradigm, recently shared his perspective on social media, describing the current phase of cryptocurrency as akin to the 'Netscape moment' or 'iPhone moment.' Huang emphasized the unprecedented scale at which the crypto industry is operating, surpassing previous expectations. He noted that both institutional and cypherpunk levels are experiencing accelerated development. The term 'Netscape moment' refers to the release of the Netscape browser in 1995, which marked the transition of the internet into mainstream adoption. Similarly, the 'iPhone moment' in 2007 signified the explosive growth of mobile internet, fundamentally transforming how people engage with technology, payments, social interactions, and consumption.
