Crypto venture funding roared back to life in the first week of June, with capital flowing into both blockbuster deals and early-stage bets.
The headline grabber was Circle’s long-awaited initial public offering (IPO), which brought in $1.1 billion and marked the company’s debut on the NYSE under the ticker CRCL.
Altogether, crypto projects attracted $1.17 billion from June 1–7, according to Cryptofundraising data. From major strategic rounds like IOST and Avantis to smaller seed raises for emerging players like 3Jane and Launcher Capital, the week highlighted a growing investor appetite across the Web3 stack.
