This week's crypto funding landscape showed solid momentum, with the market pulling in $513.4 million across 15 projects during January 11-17. The standout rounds came from Alpaca and LMAX Group, each securing $150 million in their respective fundraising rounds. These significant capital inflows signal continued investor confidence in the sector, even amid market volatility. The concentration of large tickets around a few key players underscores how selective VCs are becoming when deploying fresh capital into crypto infrastructure and trading platforms.
1. Alpaca and LMAX each taking 150 million is really impressive; what did the other 13 projects get?
2. 513.4 million sounds like a lot, but when split among 15 projects, it’s just so-so; the top players still get the most.
3. VCs are definitely becoming more selective now; funding for small projects is getting increasingly difficult.
4. Trading platforms and infrastructure are currently the most popular; this trend seems to have to continue.
5. Wow, with this concentration, it feels like there are only a few sharks in the market.
