Golden Finance reported that according to the DeFi report, blockchain startups received $13.6 billion in venture capital in 2024, accounting for 4.9% of the total investment of $279 billion for the year. This figure has rebounded from the $10.1 billion in financing in 2023, but is still far below the record of $32.4 billion set in 2021. In the future, benefiting from lower interest rates and clearer regulations, analysts expect the crypto industry to attract more than $18 billion in venture capital in 2025.
