A major financial surge in the sector: crypto projects have accumulated over $300 million in the last seven days
From December 15 to 21, blockchain startups demonstrated impressive appeal to investors, raising approximately $301 million through 11 separate investment rounds. This scale of funding reflects a significant acceleration of capital flows — the previous week showed a modest $85.1 million, highlighting the volatility of venture funding in the crypto sector.
The leader in capital attraction was the Hong Kong-based payment platform RedotPay, specializing in stablecoin transactions. The company closed a Series B round of $107 million led by venture fund Goodwater Capital. This success confirmed the growing market demand for infrastructure solutions for stable assets.
Meanwhile, the Solana ecosystem strengthened its position thanks to the DePIN Fuse Energy project, which attracted $70 million in a Series B round supported by a consortium of investors led by Lowercarbon and Balderton. This indicates a growing interest in decentralized physical infrastructure based on blockchain protocols.
Among other major winners of the funding round are two projects: MetYa raised $50 million, while Olea Global closed a Series A round of $30 million led by Spanish financial giant BBVA. This diversity of investors and projects points to an expanding institutional focus on various segments of the blockchain industry.
