What’s new? The volume of venture capital funding for cryptocurrency startups in 2023 amounted to $10,7 billion, down by 68% compared to the 2022 total of $33,3 billion. The number of trades also fell by 32% to 1891. Meanwhile, 1299 of them came in initial funding rounds of up to $1 million.
What else is known? Despite the drop in the indicator, the annual total is still ahead of previous bear markets. For example, crypto startups received only $6,4 billion in 2019-2020.
In terms of areas, the most popular, as last year, were NFTs and gaming, infrastructure, Web 3.0, DeFi, and cryptocurrency financial services. To a lesser extent, venture investors were interested in data analytics and trading projects. Most investor activity occurred in the first half of the year, followed by a decline.
