Blockchain VC Investment Surged 316% in 2018, New Study Finds

Venture capital investments into the blockchain industry have surged in 2018 as retail speculation faded away, a new report reveals.


Sign of Maturation?

According to a press release sent to Bitcoinist, a new report dubbed Q3 State of Blockchains prepared by European venture firm Outlier Ventures reveals that VCs are particularly active across all funding stages and that 119 deals are disclosed in Q3 of 2018 alone.

One noteworthy detail is that the more quality projects with well-developed products continue to receive financing despite the fading retail interest in the field. The report also holds that this marks the continuation of the professionalization of the blockchain industry.

Last Call for 3 Must Buy ICO’s in 2018

According to the study, 2018 has seen a total of $2.85 billion injected by VCs, an all-time high value and a 316 percent increase from 2017’s $900 million.

Speaking on the matter was Aron Van Ammers, Founding Partner at Outlier Ventures, commented:

As we see the focus of early stage investment into tokens shift away from tech-savvy retail investors toward VCs, hedge funds and ultimately larger institutional investors, we’re seeing a large growth in new businesses and services enabling the larger institutional investors to enter the space.

‘Speculators’ Flee Market

The research also concluded that ICO raises were down 74 percent since Q1. The third quarter of the year saw $1 billion in funding, as September’s ICO raises were only $150 million.

Notes Eden Dhaliwal, another partner at the company, added:

This quarter saw significant negative sentiment around utility tokens from an investment standpoint. Many investors have grown frustrated over regulation and exasperated over valuations of tokenized networks. This represents a new cycle back towards equity based blockchain investments until the crypto community makes advances in validating tokens as a new asset class with viable business models.

Earlier this week, Bitcoinist reported that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has settled securities registration charges against two ICOs, casting further doubts over the sector.

What do you think of the increased VC investments in the field of blockchain? Don’t hesitate to let us know in the comments below!
