Crypto news from CoinWorld News: crypto analyst Ai posted on the X platform disclosing data that, in the first quarter of 2026, companies in the artificial intelligence sector raised approximately $242 billion in total—about 80% of the global venture capital total. However, the funding is highly concentrated in a small number of “super funding rounds,” such as OpenAI completing $122 billion in financing, Anthropic raising $30 billion, xAI completing $20 billion in financing, and Waymo raising $16 billion. Meanwhile, enterprise-level AI spending continues to rise. Gartner expects that in 2026, global AI total spending will reach $2.52 trillion, a 44% year-over-year increase, as funds rapidly shift from the application layer to infrastructure and compute power buildout.
