The industry-level classification is as follows: The share of funds raised across all sectors of the crypto market remained roughly the same in December, with infrastructure accounting for the largest share at about 22%. CeFi, DeFi and NFT/GameFi accounted for about 8%, 18% and 16%, respectively. Total amount raised in December was $660 million, down 21.5% month over month ($840 million total in November 2022) and down 82.5% year over year ($3.76 billion total in December 2021).
