Crypto and blockchain startups have raised more than $850mn of VC funding in 13 deals, this puts the market on pace to break last years record of $2.4bn from 117 deals; the crypto market has seen a lot of turmoil in the last 18 months but the funding news shows there is still a lot of interest in the underlying technology; tokenization is helping to drive the investment push, tokenization would bring conventional assets to the blockchain; the constant push and pull in the space will continue until a major bank reaches scale with the technology.
