(Source: DeFiLlama)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This figure is the highest recorded since March 2022, when venture capital firms poured $3.6 billion into crypto projects before the onset of the prolonged bear market. That downturn eventually contributed to the downfall of major players like <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/ftx\/\">FTX<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/celsius-network\/\">Celsius<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This month\u2019s standout raise was conducted by <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/binance\/\">Binance<\/a>, which <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/abu-dhabis-mgx-invests-2b-in-binance-marking-largest-institutional-stablecoin-backed-crypto-deal\/\">secured $2 billion in backing from Abu Dhabi-based MGX<\/a>.

The Walrus Foundation also drew investor interest, raising $140 million to support its expanding crypto initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>This surge in capital aligns with a broader wave of optimism across the digital asset space. Investors are responding to growing expectations that the Trump administration will introduce more straightforward regulations favorable to the crypto industry.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h5>Latest Insights<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> Oluwapelumi Adejumo <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/insights\/crypto-venture-funding-soars-to-3-5-billion-in-march-highest-since-march-2022\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto venture funding soars to $3.5 billion in March, highest since March 2022 Oluwapelumi Adejumo \u00b7 1 month ago Insights Crypto Equities Crypto exchange Binance led the record monthly fundraising, with a $2 billion investment from Abu Dhabi\u2019s MGX.
