<a href="https://www.theblock.pro/?utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=direct&amp;utm_campaign=deals_launch&amp;section=deals-section" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Block Research’s data</a> indicates that more than 50 transactions this month have propelled total funding in excess of $90 billion. Tracked since 2017, this data offers valuable insights into<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/top-crypto-to-watch-this-bull-market-season/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> capital influxes within the crypto and blockchain sectors</a>, highlighting the dynamic nature of venture funding in this industry.
John Dantoni, the Director of The Block Research, observes that although there has not been a significant rise in funding numbers, there are promising indicators in the present state of venture funding within the blockchain industry.
The data organizes recent funding announcements into various segments<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/web3-and-cryptocurrency-revolutionizing-digital-finance/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">, such as web3</a>, infrastructure, DeFi, NFTs/gaming, crypto financial services, trading and brokerage, data and analytics, and enterprise.
In 2024, the majority of funding has been allocated to DeFi, infrastructure, NFTs/gaming, and web3 projects. Notable venture capitalists and i<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/animoca-brands-reports-over-2b-in-cash-and-tokens/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">nvestors participating in funding rounds include Animoca Brands,</a> Polychain Capital, Framework Ventures, and Shima Capital.
One standout investment this month is a $25 million Series A infusion into the crypto mobile payment company Oobit, with involvement from Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Tether and Solana.

Dantoni emphasizes the surge in deal activity, especially in Pre-Seed/Seed investments, and the risk-taking attitude demonstrated by Asian venture capitalists. The escalating fascination with DeFi and decentralized privacy and identity networks (DePIN) indicates investors’ deliberate positioning for potential upcoming digital asset cycles.
Despite the milestone in total funding, most funding announcements in 2024 have been for capital injections below $10 million. The number of new deals struck each month has remained relatively stable, although the dollar amounts fall short of the investment levels seen in previous years.

Since 2017, the industry has witnessed over 9,500 investments, reflecting the growing interest and participation of investors in the crypto and blockchain space. As the industry continues to evolve, the trends and investments in 2024 are indicative markers of a community ready for further growth and innovation.
