[Breaking news: Since 2014, the total amount of funds raised in the crypto industry has exceeded US$101 billion] According to Golden Finance, DeFiLlama data shows that since 2014, the total amount of funds raised in the crypto industry has reached US$101 billion, of which The Block Research has counted more than US$95 billion in cumulative investment since 2017. Venture capital transactions and token sales have been the main force driving the growth of the crypto industry, although the funds invested in start-ups have brought mixed results to investors. Paul Veradittakit, managing partner of Pantera Capital, pointed out that traditional exit methods, such as milestone acquisitions and public listings, usually take longer than expected. He added that although Coinbase Global Inc. went public directly on the Nasdaq during the 2021 cryptocurrency bull market and raised US$86 billion, overall, there were fewer exits, mainly limited to a small number of trading sales.
