Crypto venture capitalists have not been keeping pace with the <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/btc-price-forecast-signs-bitcoin-is-suffering-from-post-halving-hangover/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin (BTC) price</a> surge lately. Generally, the investment by crypto VCs align with the change in the Bitcoin price, however, that wasn’t the case in the first quarter of FY24. Nonetheless, the venture capitalist investment in crypto has increased significantly. 
<h2 id="crypto-vc-investment-bitcoin-price">Crypto VC Investment &amp; Bitcoin Price</h2> 
According to Galaxy Research data, the venture capitalists invested around $2.3 billion in the crypto market in the first quarter. Whilst, the Bitcoin price witnessed a parabolic surge of beyond $73,000. Considering the historical trends, these institutional investors should have poured in around $14 billion to keep up with the surging BTC price. 
Though the crypto VC Investment amount surged from less than $2 billion, the gain wasn’t as high as expected. Earlier, following the all-time high of $69,000 for Bitcoin in November 2021, the venture capitalists splurged $12 billion in the market during the first quarter of 2022. 
The potential reason for this dissatisfactory amount of crypto venture capitalist investment could be the new trends in the market. These include the launch of the <a href="https://coingape.com/will-bitcoin-hit-70000-again-heres-what-you-need-to-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spot Bitcoin ETFs</a>, crypto restaking, and uncertainty around the Federal Reserve interest rates. 
Moreover, the venture capitalists could have opted to invest in the Spot Bitcoin ETFs instead of choosing to hold BTC directly. However, as of now, these investors are yet to disclose their holdings under the Form 13F filing before the May 15 deadline. Hence, it isn’t confirmed if they actually considered the ETF option or chose to limit their crypto investments owing to market uncertainties.
