Crypto fundraising reached $185 million last week across 22 projects, highlighting strong investor appetite despite market volatility. The largest round was led by Etherealize, securing $40 million in Series A to expand Ethereum-based institutional marketing and infrastructure. Other notable raises included Utila ($22M) for digital asset operations, Kite AI ($18M) for AI-blockchain integration, Aria ($15M) for intellectual property tokenization, and Obita ($10M) for decentralized data solutions. The remaining funds were spread among early-stage DeFi, gaming, and infrastructure startups. Analysts note the steady flow of capital reflects growing confidence in blockchain innovation, particularly in AI integration and Ethereum-centric solutions.
