Summary of venture capital: Encryption financing will reach $13.6 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach $18 billion in 2025.

According to the data of the "Decentralized Finance Report", the venture capital financing of Block chain startups will reach $13.6 billion in 2024, accounting for 4.9% of the total venture capital of $279 billion that year. These numbers reflect a recovery from $10.1 billion in venture capital from encryption companies in 2023. However, the industry is still far behind its peak in 2021, when encryption startups raised $32.4 billion in funding. One of the highlights of 2024 is that Monad Labs raised $225 million to build a Layer-1 Smart Contract network, while Berachain raised $100 million to support its modular Block chain development platform. In addition, BTCstakeprotocolBabylon raised $70 million, while tokenization platform Securitize raised $47 million in investment from BlackRock. Looking ahead, PitchBook's forecasts show that the encryption sector will attract more than $18 billion in capital by 2025 and is expected to see a significant rise. Analysts at Galaxy Research also expect the surge in venture capital activity to be driven by a combination of declining Intrerest rates and increased regulatory clarity in the encryption space, which will boost investor interest in venture capital opportunities. "Encryption venture capital fundraising has historically lagged the trend of the overall encryption market, and it is expected that there will be a certain degree of 'catch-up' in the next four quarters."
