USA Continues to Lead in Investment

According to RootData figures, the 180 investments announced last month reached the highest monthly investment figure since April 2022. While one-fifth of the projects raised funds between $1 million and $3 million, just over 15% collected between $5 million and $10 million. The majority of the financed projects are located in the United States.

Ethereum $2,460 Layer-2 Blockchain Optimism secured the largest investment income of the month by selling tokens worth $89 million in a private deal. Cryptography startup Zama followed with a $73 million Series A round.

While the number of monthly deals increased by 25% compared to February and by over 70% compared to the previous year, the total amount raised also increased by 28% compared to March 2023.

Emerging Focus Areas in Crypto

VC firms recently hinted at their focus areas for crypto in the coming year. Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) set aside $30 million on April 1st for a fund focusing on Web3 games.

Last week, a16z co-founder Marc Andreessen and Galaxy Digital were among the top contributors to VC firm 1kx’s $75 million fund targeting crypto-based consumer applications. In February, Hack VC raised $150 million to finance early-stage crypto and artificial intelligence ventures.

Support for Infrastructure Projects

Infrastructure projects were the most funded in March, receiving about a quarter of the total $1.16 billion VC fund, which equates to approximately $283 million.

Decentralized finance (DeFi) projects accounted for nearly 20% of the total with $228.1 million in funding, while centralized finance (CeFi) projects like exchanges saw the third-highest funding at $85.5 million. No funds were raised in the DAO category.

Last month’s funding marked the first time since November that VC funding in the sector surpassed $1 billion. This milestone, following the collapse of FTX in late 2022 and its profound impact on the cryptocurrency market, indicates a revitalization of the sector.
