The crypto venture capital landscape has experienced significant growth, particularly in the emerging Bitcoin DeFi sector, which attracted $175 million in investments during the first half of the year. Notably, institutions are increasingly acquiring Bitcoin for their strategic reserves. Beyond Bitcoin, themes of tokenization and stablecoin infrastructure have gained traction among investors. Inveniam partnered with Mantra to enhance real-world asset (RWA) adoption with a $20 million investment aimed at increasing the total value locked on the Mantra Chain. Stable, a new blockchain network focused on Tether’s USDt, raised $28 million to accelerate USDt adoption amid regulatory clarity. Additionally, Spiko secured $22 million to improve access to tokenized money markets in Europe, while Dakota raised $12.5 million for a stablecoin banking platform. Jarsy, a digital investment platform, received $5 million to facilitate access to pre-IPO private equity markets via tokenized shares.
