Author: WuBlockchain According to RootData statistics, there were a total of 134 public investment projects in the cryptocurrency VC sector in February, an increase of 13.6% compared to January 2024 (which had 118 projects) and a 1.5% increase year-on-year (compared to February 2023, which had 132 projects). Note: Since not all financing rounds are announced in the same month, the above figures may increase in the future. The primary industry classifications are as follows: In February, among the various tracks in the cryptocurrency market, the financing amount for infrastructure projects accounted for approximately 24%, DeFi approximately 16%, CeFi approximately 5%, NFT/GameFi approximately 13%, and L1/L2 approximately 7%. The total financing amount in February was $700 million, an increase of 6.1% compared to January 2024 ($660 million) and a 27.1% decrease year-on-year compared to February 2023 ($960 million). Among them, the top 10 rounds by amount are as follows: Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) invested $100 million in EigenLayer, with founder Kannan stating that a16z was the sole investor in this round. Previously, the company raised $50 million in a round in March and currently refuses to provide EigenLayer’s valuation. L1/L2 project Flare Network raised $35 million in private financing, with Kenetic, Aves Lair, and others participating in the investment. Early investors in the project voluntarily agreed to extend the token allocation from 2024 to the first quarter of 2026 and implement sales restrictions, limiting daily sales to no more than 0.5% of total trading volume. Flare supports the creation of smart contract protocols, focusing on pricing oracle. Modular project Avail on Polygon completed a $27 million seed round of financing, led by Founders Fund and Dragonfly.

Mobile crypto payment app Oobit announced that it has raised a $25 million Series A financing round, with Solana Labs co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko and Tether Limited participating.
