After a rather limp stretch resembling a tea-party with no scones, the investor chappies have gone absolutely bananas—tossing over $10 billion at crypto startups from April to June. This is the sort of staggering capital influx not seen since early 2022, which in crypto time is roughly eight ice ages ago. And get this: more than half of that dough was sprinkled into the sector in June alone. One assumes the optimism was contagious, like a particularly virulent case of hay fever.
In the “Look-Mum-I-Made-It” category, Strive Funds—backed by multitasking maestro Vivek Ramaswamy—nabbed a cool $750 million, all for the noble cause of Bitcoin scheming. Not to be upstaged, TwentyOneCapital waltzed off with $585 million, Securitize grabbed $400 million, and an enthusiastic gaggle of smaller rounds scurried close behind: Kalshi, Auradine, ZenMEV, and Digital Asset, all raising enough to invite awkward calls from their fifth cousins.
The ever-busy boffins at Coinbase Ventures led the investment conga line, notching up 25 deals as if they were collecting stamps, and showing no sign of tiring by June. Pantera Capital, Galaxy Digital, and Paradigm elbowed their way into the action too, with a laser-focus on DeFi, blockchain nuts-and-bolts, and the sort of “emerging payment solutions” that sound suspiciously like you’ll never see your money again. Meanwhile, memecoins were about as noisy as a mouse at a regatta—lots of squeaking, very little biting.
Fresh-faced early-stage deals ruled the roost—think seed and “strategic” rounds, which are essentially a posh way of saying “throw money at it and hope for the best.” The sprinkling of funds covered infrastructure, CeFi, NFTs, and GameFi, though tallying the deals was like herding cats. Some action in mergers, acquisitions, and incubation—enough to keep the lawyers busy, but no one’s writing home for those, are they?
Not to be outshone, Galaxy Digital strutted on stage to announce it raised $175 million for its debut external venture fund (handily beating the target and several egos along the way). Their masterplan: architecting the backbone for a world of tokenized finance and crypto payments. Over in Amsterdam, Theta Capital scraped together a similar pile of loot and intends to back the next generation of blockchain hopefuls, fund-of-funds style—essentially the Russian nesting dolls of venture capital.
All in all: crypto venture capital isn’t just back from its nap—it’s donned running shoes, spiked its hair with gel, and is tearing off toward the next shiny tech frontier. Whether it finds gold or just another digital mirage is anyone’s bet. 🏃♂️🚀
