As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the tech and financial sectors, I find the recent cryptocurrency funding rounds to be a fascinating reflection of the evolving blockchain landscape. The sheer magnitude of investments in projects like Beam, ChainOpera AI, Trrue Chain, Avalon Labs, Usual Labs, and others, demonstrates the growing maturity and acceptance of this technology by mainstream investors.
During the last week of December 2024, funds were successfully raised by Beam in an amount totaling $72 million via a public offering. Data on cryptocurrency fundraising indicated that gaming and infrastructure were priority sectors.
Last week’s weekly investments amounted to approximately $120 million, marking a significant decrease from the $400 million recorded the preceding week. Avalanche Labs was the leader in these investments with a successful fundraising of $250 million. Let me share some other notable investments wrapping up 2024 for you.
