Overall data shows that the blockchain industry received $30.3 billion of private capital, which took place in 1199 investment rounds sponsored by well-known Venture Capitalists (U).
The largest number of rounds occurred in the segment of Web3 and NFTs (530), registering twice as many occurrences as the other categories: DeFi (195); CeFi (222); and Infrastructure (252).
In financial terms, the segment that received the most funds was Centralized Finance (CeFi), with the inflow of US$10.2 billion (33.66% of the total) of private investments.
CeFi was closely followed by Infrastructure ($9.7bn) and Web3 & NFT ($8.6bn); while the design industry Decentralized Finance (DeFi) saw a sharp slowdown, receiving just $1.8 billion (5.94% of the total).
