OpenSea CEO responds to Vanity Fair’s controversial report: Serious misunderstanding of the crypto industry, team will continue long-term development

Odaily reported that OpenSea CEO Devin Finzer responded to the controversial Vanity Fair article on X, stating that despite repeated claims that "OpenSea is finished," the team continues to grow and develop. He emphasized that crypto entrepreneurship can be profitable, and since its inception, OpenSea has always focused on building products that users truly love—a core direction that will not change. Devin Finzer also pointed out that his partner has been involved with bitcoin since 2011, developing independently and supporting his career for a long time, highlighting the importance of growing together. He stated that Vanity Fair's coverage contains serious misinterpretations of the crypto industry and the company's narrative. The crypto industry is still in its early stages and widely misunderstood; in the future, it is expected to integrate into culture and daily life in an "invisible" way, which is also one of OpenSea's key visions. He stressed that creating meaningful products requires long-term commitment, enduring misunderstanding, and continuous iteration.

It is reported that Vanity Fair previously wrote that Devin Finzer's wife, Yu-Chi Lyra Kuo, is his "product mommy" and provided guidance during his entrepreneurial journey.
