The Crypto venture capital firms Polychain Capital and Coinfund have successfully raised substantial amounts of funding of $350M, despite the ongoing decline in VC investments in the crypto industry.
As per the reports, Polychain Capital has raised an impressive $200 million in the “first close” of its fourth investment fund, with plans to reach a total of $400 million.
This achievement allows the firm to commence funding startups and projects, although it also resulted in the departure of three members from its research team.
According to Bloomberg’s report, Coinfund, another VC firm in the crypto space, secured $158 million for its fourth seed fund, surpassing its initial target of $125 million. The increased interest in the industry led to an additional $33 million being raised.
This caution has prompted a retreat into more traditional market sectors. However, artificial intelligence remains an exception, with over $12 billion in venture funding flowing into the AI industry since the beginning of the year.

These investments will fuel the growth and development of innovative projects within the crypto space, contributing to the industry’s overall advancement.
