November 2023 marked a significant resurgence in venture capital investments within the cryptocurrency and Web3 sectors. A striking 52% increase from October was observed, with venture capital spending surging notably. This uptick aligns with a robust market rally, highlighted by Bitcoin reaching new heights in 2023 and a 25% surge in crypto markets since the beginning of November, infusing approximately $340 billion into the space.
Notably, Blockchain.com, a leading crypto exchange and wallet provider, played a pivotal role, raising a substantial portion of November's venture capital. They closed a $110 million Series E funding round, underscoring the robust investment appetite in the sector. Similarly, Fnality International's significant $95 million Series B funding for its blockchain-based payment system marked another key investment in November.
Despite these impressive figures, the current levels still fall short of the bull market highs, where billions were routinely invested monthly. However, the recent trend indicates a recovery from the low points seen during the bear market, such as the $283 million in August.
CryptoCarp's data suggests that the total venture capital funding in the crypto sector could exceed $2 billion for the month, though this includes a broader range of fintech investments beyond strict venture capital. Industry experts, like Dragonfly's Rob Hadick, see this surge as reminiscent of previous bull markets, characterized by quicker deals and lighter due diligence, hinting at a growing confidence in the crypto venture space.
