A comprehensive, data-driven look at global financial technology investment trends, top deals, active investors, and corporate activity.
We looked at a cohort of 99 blockchain companies that received an initial seed or angel financing in 2013 or 2014, and tracked them through today.
On a quarterly basis, non-ICO blockchain deals hit their lowest point since Q4’13, settling at 16 financing rounds. However, nearly 60 ICOs closed in the same quarter for more than $750M.
The largest US banks by assets participated in 9 rounds totaling $267M in disclosed funding to six companies, including one consortium.
At CB Insights' Future of Fintech conference, Mike Novogratz talked about the cryptocurrency bubble, tokens, and network effects.
Token offerings hit their highest funding point last quarter, with 10+ deals totaling about $70M.
We used CB Insights to identify the most well-funded companies in the sector, after a couple of recent financings boosted the war-chests of some of the largest blockchain companies.
Q1'17 saw blockchain startup deals rise for the third consecutive quarter.
