I followed the capital movements last week and the numbers are quite interesting. Between April 11 and 18, there were 19 investment rounds in the crypto space, totaling $1.1 billion. Much more active than usual.
The highlights were pretty obvious: a $550 million acquisition in Bitnomial and $200 million going to a major cryptocurrency exchange. The concentration in these two deals was quite large, representing a good part of the total funds raised.
What caught my attention is that out of the 19 rounds, only 16 disclosed the amounts. This shows that there are still quite a few deals happening behind the scenes without much noise. DeFi continues to attract a lot of capital as well; it's not just exchanges that are receiving funding.
