 <p>Diving deeper into the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="sector" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/sector.html">sector</a>-specific <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="investments" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/investments.html">investments</a>, infrastructure projects received roughly 24% of the funding, followed by decentralized finance (DeFi) at 21%, centralized finance (CeFi) at 9%, and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and gaming finance (GameFi) at around 13%.</p>
 <p>In terms of the total dollar amount, the industry witnessed $430 million in financing for the month of October. This shows a 20% decline from September’s $530 million and a more concerning year-over-year fall of 63%, down from $1.15 billion in October of last year. The contraction in venture <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="capital" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/capital.html">capital</a> funding raises critical questions about the future growth prospects of the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> industry, especially in niche <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="sector" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/sector.html">sector</a>s like NFT and GameFi.&nbsp;</p>
