Crypto Startups Thrive in November with $350 Million in Funding Deals
Overview of Crypto Funding Activities in November
Key Highlights Include Major Investments in Zero Gravity Labs and Superscrypt
In November, the crypto industry witnessed a flurry of activity with 99 deals totaling over $350 million in venture capital funding and mergers and acquisitions transactions, according to data from RootData.
Notable events during the month included Zero Gravity Labs securing $290 million for a decentralized artificial intelligence operating system (dAIOS) and Superscrypt announcing a new $100 million investment fund for blockchain startups. Additionally, a crowdfunding platform focusing on Bitcoin projects made its debut in the crypto ecosystem.
Investor confidence in the industry may have been boosted by the potential for more favorable regulations in the U.S. post the reelection of Donald Trump earlier in the month, paving the way for increased investments in crypto ventures under new regulatory frameworks.
Shift Towards Alternative Funding Models
Founders Embrace Community Engagement and ICO Revival
Amid a positive regulatory outlook, crypto founders are exploring new avenues for funding. Fabrizio Giabardo, co-founder of Legion, noted a resurgence in community-focused fundraising models, stating, “There’s this energy of building for the people again, creating ecosystems where communities feel like true stakeholders.” This trend marks a return to the roots of initial coin offerings (ICOs) in the crypto space.
