加密貨幣項目資金激增，顯示投資者樂觀情緒重燃

3 月份，加密貨幣項目的創投激增 52.5%，達到 11.6 億美元，這主要是受到基礎設施和去中心化金融 (DeFi) 計畫投資的推動。這是自 2022 年 4 月以來最高的月度投資，已有 180 項公開宣布的投資獲得融資。

Venture Capital Inflows Surge into Crypto Projects, Signaling Renewed Optimism

創投湧入加密貨幣項目，預示著新的樂觀情緒

In a resounding demonstration of faith in the cryptocurrency industry's resilience, venture capital funding for crypto projects experienced a remarkable 52.5% surge in March, amassing a total of $1.16 billion. This substantial investment represents the highest monthly figure since April 2022, underscoring the growing appetite for exposure to the thriving crypto ecosystem.

3 月份，加密貨幣專案的創投大幅成長 52.5%，總額達 11.6 億美元，充分體現了人們對加密貨幣產業韌性的信心。這項巨額投資是自 2022 年 4 月以來的最高月度數字，突顯了人們對蓬勃發展的加密貨幣生態系統的興趣日益增長。

RootData's comprehensive analysis reveals that 180 publicly disclosed investments were secured in March, marking a significant milestone in the industry's recovery from the market downturn witnessed in 2023. One-fifth of these deals saw funding between $1 million and $3 million, while 15% secured investments ranging from $5 million to $10 million.

RootData 的綜合分析顯示，3 月已獲得180 筆公開披露的投資，這標誌著該行業從2023 年市場低迷中復甦的一個重要里程碑。其中五分之一的交易融資額在100 萬至300 萬美元之間，15% 的交易獲得了投資從500萬美元到1000萬美元不等。

The United States led the charge in terms of project funding, although its dominance was tempered by the fact that American-based ventures accounted for less than 10% of the total deal count. Nevertheless, this statistic highlights the global reach and appeal of the crypto industry, attracting investors from a diverse range of jurisdictions.

美國在專案融資方面處於領先地位，但其主導地位因美國企業佔交易總數不到 10% 的事實而受到削弱。儘管如此，這項統計數據凸顯了加密貨幣產業的全球影響力和吸引力，吸引了來自不同司法管轄區的投資者。

Ethereum's Layer-2 blockchain, Optimism, emerged as the top fundraiser for the month, securing a staggering $89 million in a private token sale. Cryptography startup Zama followed closely with its impressive $73 million Series A funding round.

以太坊的 Layer-2 區塊鏈 Optimism 成為本月最大的籌款活動，在私人代幣銷售中獲得了驚人的 8,900 萬美元。密碼學新創公司 Zama 緊隨其後，完成了令人印象深刻的 7,300 萬美元 A 輪融資。

March's top 10 deals by raised amount further exemplify the depth and breadth of investor interest in the crypto space. The monthly deal volume surged by an impressive 25% compared to February and an astonishing 70% year-over-year, while the total amount raised witnessed a 28% increase over March 2023.

3 月融資金額排名前 10 的交易進一步反映了投資者對加密貨幣領域興趣的深度和廣度。與 2 月相比，每月交易量激增了 25%，年比激增了 70%，而融資總額比 2023 年 3 月增加了 28%。

This surge in venture capital funding for crypto projects aligns with recent indications of renewed interest from prominent investors. Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) recently earmarked $30 million for a fund dedicated to Web3 gaming, while a16z co-founder Marc Andreessen and Galaxy Digital made substantial contributions to VC firm 1kx's $75 million fund targeting crypto-based consumer apps.

加密貨幣專案創投資金的激增與近期知名投資者重新表現出的興趣相一致。 Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) 最近為專門用於Web3 遊戲的基金指定了3000 萬美元，而a16z 聯合創始人Marc Andreessen 和Galaxy Digital 為風投公司1kx 的7500 萬美元基金（針對基於加密的消費應用程式）做出了重大貢獻。

Further evidence of this renewed enthusiasm is Hack VC's $150 million fund raised in February to support early-stage crypto and artificial intelligence startups. These investments underscore the belief that the crypto industry is well-positioned for sustainable growth and innovation.

Hack VC 在 2 月籌集了 1.5 億美元資金，用於支持早期加密貨幣和人工智慧新創公司，這進一步證明了這種新的熱情。這些投資強調了人們的信念：加密貨幣產業處於永續成長和創新的有利位置。

Infrastructure projects emerged as the most attractive investment category in March, securing nearly $283 million or approximately 25% of the total VC funding. Decentralized finance (DeFi) projects followed with $228.1 million in funding, constituting almost 20% of the total. Centralized finance (CeFi) projects, such as exchanges, received the third-highest level of funding at $85.5 million. Notably, no funding was raised in the DAO category.

基礎建設項目成為 3 月最具吸引力的投資類別，獲得近 2.83 億美元，約佔風險投資總額的 25%。去中心化金融（DeFi）計畫緊隨其後，融資額為 2.281 億美元，幾乎佔總數的 20%。交易所等中心化金融 (CeFi) 項目獲得了第三高的資金水平，為 8550 萬美元。值得注意的是，DAO 類別並沒有籌集到任何資金。

March's robust funding levels mark the first time since November that VC funding for crypto projects has exceeded $1 billion in a single month. This resurgence follows a subdued 2023 for crypto fundraising, which was largely attributed to the collapse of FTX and the subsequent market downturn.

3 月強勁的融資水準標誌著自 11 月以來加密貨幣專案的創投資金在單月內首次超過 10 億美元。這種復甦是在 2023 年加密貨幣融資低迷之後發生的，這在很大程度上歸因於 FTX 的崩盤和隨後的市場低迷。

However, with the launch of spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S. and a broader recovery in the crypto markets, investor enthusiasm has returned with a vengeance. As the industry continues to mature and innovative projects emerge, venture capital funding is expected to play a crucial role in fostering growth and driving the crypto revolution forward.

然而，隨著現貨比特幣 (BTC) 交易所交易基金 (ETF) 在美國的推出以及加密貨幣市場的更廣泛復甦，投資者的熱情又捲土重來。隨著行業的不斷成熟和創新項目的出現，創投資金預計將在促進成長和推動加密革命向前發展方面發揮至關重要的作用。
