2024 Crypto Investment Trends: Key Insights from RootDataCrypto
RootDataCrypto’s latest analysis highlights significant trends in 2024, with infrastructure leading the way in funding, securing $3.995 billion—an impressive 18.22% increase from the previous year. Developer platforms and stablecoins experienced notable growth, showing strength throughout Q3. Meanwhile, decentralized finance (DeFi) saw a remarkable surge, raising $1.493 billion, marking a 96.57% year-over-year increase. The focus within DeFi has been on modular solutions, EVM parallelism, decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePin), and real-world assets (RWA).
The gaming sector also experienced robust growth, securing $814 million, up 21.54% from last year. Other sectors attracted a total of $1.335 billion, reflecting a slight decrease of 6.72% year-over-year. However, emerging segments such as meme coins, AI-driven crypto, and DePin solutions showed promise. Early-stage innovations like Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), re-staking, and privacy computing were also active early in the year, while security and the creator economy began to gain momentum later in 2024.
Centralized finance (CeFi) saw a significant decline, with funding dropping from $991 million to $679 million, a decrease of 31.48%. Despite this downturn, CeFi had a brief revival in mid-year, largely influenced by projects like @farcaster_xyz, which temporarily boosted investor confidence.
