Funding the Multi-Chain World
Weekly Recap
Funding has fallen to $68 million after a strong week of funding saw teams raise $117 million to start the quarter. The average deal size across both weeks was ~$6 million, and deal count fell from 15 to 12. The largest raise came from crypto prime broker Membrane Labs, which closed $20 million in their Series A round from several noteworthy investors, including Brevan Howard Digital, Point72 Ventures, and others like Jane Street and Two Sigma Ventures. Membrane is an institutional crypto trading and lending platform. Their infrastructure supports clearing, settlement, and workflow management for loans, collateral management, OTC trades, and derivatives. The CeFi market remains an area of opportunity following the collapses of major players like FTX, Celsius, and Genesis. After CeFi, infrastructure saw the second-largest amount raised at $15m. Investors remain focused on interoperability, wallet account abstraction, and native crypto analytics. From a deal stage perspective, deals remain concentrated on Seed and Pre-Seed companies, with two-thirds of deals this week falling into these categories.
