In 2024, the cryptocurrency market saw significant growth, with total market capitalization rising by $1.6 trillion to $3.4 trillion, largely driven by Bitcoin and Memecoins. Despite this growth, venture capital investments faced challenges, totaling $11.5 billion over the year, with early-stage deals dominating. While interest in Bitcoin and AI-related projects is increasing, many sectors struggle for attention. The U.S. remains the leading market for investments, especially as a crypto-friendly government is anticipated. However, venture capital activity lags behind previous market peaks, with macroeconomic factors and shifting investor preferences impacting future funding prospects.
