Crypto Market Investment Ascends

CNBC highlights that venture funding for businesses involved in the cryptocurrency space reached $1.9 billion in the fourth quarter of 2023—a 2.5% rise from the previous quarter. For the first time since the March quarter of 2022, venture capital investments in cryptocurrency businesses have increased quarter on quarter.

However, the overall crypto funding in 2023 saw a steep decline. Multiple high-profile failures of venture-backed cryptocurrency industry firms reduced allocator demand for exposure, while tighter monetary policy increased capital costs and reduced venture allocations overall. Finally, by the time 2023 concluded, just slightly more than half of the agreements represented a third of the total amount of venture capital invested in cryptocurrency during the preceding two years.
