Investment capital in the crypto market surged, reaching 6 billion USD in July

According to data from #BlockworksResearch , total investment capital in the cryptocurrency market in July exceeded the 6 billion USD mark, the highest level since 2021. Notably, Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) companies have made significant contributions to this growth, surpassing even traditional sectors such as DeFi and payments.

The emergence of DAT companies

Data shows that subsequent funding rounds #IPO of DAT companies account for the majority of the total amount raised. This trend indicates that institutional investors are increasingly interested in gaining indirect exposure to cryptocurrencies through publicly listed companies holding digital assets on their balance sheets.

Although seed rounds and Series A still account for the majority in terms of quantity, new DAT companies are the key factor driving the surge in total investment capital.

Positive signals for the market

The strong increase in investment capital in July, surpassing even March (previously the most successful month since 2021), is a clear sign that investor optimism and risk appetite are on the rise. Coinbase Ventures is also one of the most active investors, participating in 21 funding rounds.

Although August is typically a seasonal slowdown for the market, the boom of DAT companies and the success of recent IPOs suggest that positive momentum may continue. #anh_ba_cong
