According to The Block’s statistics, throughout 2023, crypto Investment Funds (VCs) spent a total of 10.7 billion USD on investment and capital raising activities, down 68% from 33.3 billion USD of 2022.

However, this figure is still enough to make 2023 the year with the third highest amount of money mobilized for investment activities in history.

Abhishek Saxena, manager at Polygon Ventures, shared with The Block:

“The sharp decrease in investment cash flow in 2023 is predictable due to the unfavorable macro situation, legal issues, plus the shock from the previous year’s collapses. However, many investors and projects are still surprised by the level of market decline. The recent crypto winter was a necessary adjustment, helping the crypto industry focus more on important aspects and reshape itself.”

This year, there were a total of 1,819 capital raising deals organized by VCs, down 32% from 2,671 the previous year. Most of the investment took place in the first half of 2023 before starting to decline sharply for the rest of the year. However, from November onwards, there were signs of strong recovery in the crypto market.

Most investment deals are carried out in the form of pre-seed, seed and Series A rounds, showing the interest of investment funds in projects that are in the concept and construction stages product.

In terms of sectors receiving the most capital from funds, projects related to NFT/gaming, blockchain infrastructure and Web3 still hold a prominent position, although the allocation ratio has become more diversified compared to 2022.
