**Crypto VC Roundup: Web3 Investments Defy Economic Trends**
Despite recent moderation in inflation indicators like the Consumer Price Index, venture firms in the Web3 space remain largely unaffected by macroeconomic conditions. BITKRAFT Ventures' Carlos Pereira notes that early-stage investments are less influenced by the broader economy, with Series A rounds being more sensitive.
Key Highlights:
- **Mira**: Secured $9M in a seed round led by BITKRAFT Ventures and Framework Ventures. Funds will enhance their AI infrastructure platform.
- **Astria**: Raised $12.5M to advance its Sequencing Layer and Astria Stack for decentralized transaction ordering.
- **Compute Labs**: Closed a $3M pre-seed round to tokenize GPUs on Solana.
- **BOB**: Garnered $1.6M to support its Bitcoin-focused incubator program.
- **Dora**: Raised $5.5M to enhance its multichain search engine and expand blockchain collaborations.
These investments highlight the ongoing confidence in Web3 and blockchain innovations, regardless of broader economic fluctuations.
