Experts commented that investors have grown more wary, observing the disparity between Bitcoin‘s (BTC) price and the quantity and value of financing rounds. Within the initial quarter, a total of 422 funding rounds took place, amounting to $2.3 billion.

“This occurrence highlights an increasing pattern of venture capital firms being more careful and selective when investing in cryptocurrencies.”

Six projects received investments exceeding $50 million each, whereas the majority of transactions took place between $1 million and $10 million, according to CryptoRank’s analysis. The current funding trends fall short in comparison to historical records spanning the previous four years, suggesting a subdued investment climate.

Over the last three months, investors have mainly shown interest in modifications to protocols, advances in interoperability, and the establishment of stable decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Notably, EigenLayer and Ether.fi each secured investments totaling $100 million and $27 million respectively.
