In January, VC funding for cryptocurrencies is expected to grow by 100% compared to the same month in 2024, with deals amounting to $1.14 billion. This growth is attributed to the increased interest in the crypto market and the refinement of funding as backers become more selective. The funding includes a mix of seed rounds and advanced-stage inflows, with undisclosed rounds producing the highest value. However, January's results are lower than December's outlier funding, which was boosted by several over-the-counter deals. VC funding is viewed with skepticism due to concerns about producing more tokens that could be sold on the open market. Despite this, decentralized sales surpassed VC rounds, raising $1.33 billion in January. Ethereum remains a leader in fundraising, followed by Solana. The most common type of fundraising is through an Initial Decentralized Offering platform.
