VC Capital Continues to Flow to Alt-L1's

Funding slid lower this week from $284M to $182M. Continuing the trend of the last three weeks, infrastructure deals comprised the bulk of funding, with 9 deals amounting to $126M or 69% of total funding. Most of this infrastructure funding came in the form of Alt Layer-1 investments in Sei and EOS. The financial verticals had a lackluster week – DeFi and CeFi received just $4M and $7M of financing, while Web3 and NFTS and Metaverse and Gaming fared slightly better, raising $16M and $28M, respectively.

There were two crypto funds raised this week. Bitget, a crypto trading platform, raised $100 million to invest in Asia-based Web3 startup projects. The EOS Network raised $60M in a partnership with DWF Labs, which includes a $45M EOS token purchase agreement and a $15M pledge for EOS-based projects.

Most deals this week were Seed Round—35% were Seed and 4% were Pre-Seed. While not comprising a large percentage of total deals, we’ve seen more consistent Token Sales in the past few weeks, with around ~7% of deals each week being Token Sales or Private Token Sales.
