夏季即将结束,在这段时间里,我们统计了从风险投资公司获得资金的加密货币和 Web3 项目的新数据,让我们来看看它们吧。

夏季即将结束,在这段时间里,我们统计了从风险投资公司获得资金的加密货币和 Web3 项目的新数据,让我们来看看它们吧。

过去几个月,我们分析了来自 Pitchbook 和 Crunchbase 的数据库中 7,400 个加密货币 /Web3 项目的资金数据,以下是基于这些数据的一些有趣的事实和见解。以下是按总资金金额计算的顶级加密项目:

让我们来看看最近获得资金的加密货币项目:

第一个也是最重要一个是 Unizen(ZCX),一个智能交易所平台,它通过结合中心化(CEX)和去中心化(DEX)架构来解决问题——被加密货币社区俗称为 「CeDeFi」。这个混合平台是新兴的 CeDeFi 项目之一,有可能改变加密交易者和投资者的叙事。

6 月 27 日,Unizen 筹集了 2 亿美元的资金,以加速其交易聚合生态系统并扩大其团队,由投资管理巨头 Global Emerging Markets (GEM) 领投。

在这一重大公告宣布之后,他们的 Telegram 社区成员数量增加了近 50%(从 10.9 万到 15.7 万):

另外,这样的新闻也没有逃过推特的关注,在沉寂了至少半年后人们再次提及它。

Geeq(GEEQ),一个多链平台,由团队所谓的诚信证明协议(PoH)担保,宣称该机制 「对最有价值的数据足够安全,对物联网足够便宜,适用于任何用途。」

我们把 GEEQ 放在第二位,因为它与 ZCX 有联系:2021 年,Geeq 被选中加入 Unizen ZenX 孵化器。 该加速器计划由 Unizen 支持,旨在为区块链项目提供实现广泛采用所需的投资、专业知识和合作机会。

8 月 8 日,Geeq 已获得 Global Emerging Market 的 2500 万美元的资本承诺,GEM 承诺会在 Geeq 业绩实现的同时逐步释放资金。

Gnosis(GNO),一个开源的、去中心化的预测市场平台。Gnosis 的三个可互操作的产品线(Apollo、DutchX、Gnosis Safe)允许用户在以太坊上安全地创建、交易和持有数字资产。

7 月 12 日,Gnosis 最知名的产品 Gnosis Safe(现在简称 Safe)在由 1kx 牵头,Tiger Global's、Kraken Ventures、Digital Currency Group 和 Coinbase Ventures 参与的风险融资回合中筹集了 1 亿美元。新的资金将用于支持非营利组织 Safe Ecosystem Foundation,并加速 Safe 的进一步发展。早在 2017 年 4 月的 ICO 筹集了 1250 万美元之后,Gnosis 作为一个整体至今已经筹集了 1.125 亿美元。

Qiibee(QBX),总部位于瑞士的区块链 B2B 奖励市场,为企业和消费者提供加密货币和忠诚度平台。

Qiibee 是最近获得的投资中最小也是最后一个项目,在 7 月 5 日完成种子轮融资后,筹集了 480 万美元。Z5 Capital 领投,Meet The People、Barclays Ventures、R/GA Ventures 等参投。

本轮融资是为了项目的全球扩张。此外,这笔投资将支持该公司向北美等其他优先市场的扩张计划。

VC 们的情况如何?以下是正在对加密货币项目进行大量投资的顶级风险投资公司(a16z、Sequoia 和 Tiger 仍然是行业的领头羊):

STRC 跌破面值,比特币财库实验进入下半场

The price of STRC, Strategy's dividend-paying preferred stock, has fallen below its $100 face value, triggering a re-evaluation of the "bitcoin treasury" corporate model. This highlights a critical tension: the company's asset base consists of high-volatility, non-cash-flow-generating Bitcoin, while its capital structure requires continuous cash payouts for dividends and interest. The decline of STRC signals that market pressure is shifting from asset price volatility to the pricing of the company's financing tools. Strategy's core model involves a three-step conversion: turning equity into Bitcoin exposure, converting Bitcoin holdings into capital market credit, and packaging non-yielding BTC into cash-paying securities like STRC. While Strategy holds a massive 847,363 BTC, the focus is now on cash flow mismatches. The company faces annual preferred stock dividend obligations of approximately $1.7 billion, far exceeding the cash flow from its legacy software business. Its ability to meet these obligations relies on continued access to capital markets. The market is now scrutinizing which of three potential costs becomes untenable first: rising dividend costs to attract investors, dilution costs from issuing more common stock, or the reputational cost of selling BTC—a move contrary to its "hodl" narrative. For the broader crypto market, a constrained Strategy means the potential loss of a predictable, narrative-driven marginal buyer for Bitcoin. The STRC discount serves as a reminder that the longevity of such models depends not just on Bitcoin's price, but also on financing windows, cash reserves, and investor willingness to pay a "trust premium" for the structure.

Standard Chartered Bank’s 50-Fold Fantasy: Predicting AAVE to Reach $3,500

Standard Chartered Bank has issued an optimistic research report predicting that the AAVE token could surge 50-fold to $3,500 by 2030. This forecast is based on the projection that the total value locked (TVL) in DeFi will grow 37x to approximately $2.7 trillion, driven by stablecoin expansion and the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA). The bank's model links Aave's potential valuation directly to its protocol revenue, which is primarily driven by net interest margins. The report highlights Aave's current dominant position, noting it captures over 80% of the net earnings ("protocol retained earnings") in the lending sector while holding only about half of its TVL. It also points to the recent launch of the Aave V4 architecture and a healthy revenue stream of $142 million in 2025 as positive fundamentals. Grayscale's separate analysis, applying traditional valuation metrics like DCF, concluded AAVE is currently undervalued. However, the article notes significant challenges. Aave's peer-to-pool lending model suffers from inherent capital inefficiency, with an estimated $52 million annual "deadweight loss" due to idle funds needed for liquidity buffers. This structural flaw was exposed during the April KelpDAO exploit, which locked a WETH pool at 100% utilization for days. Emerging protocols like Morpho, with more efficient point-to-point models, are cited as growing competitive threats. In summary, while institutional forecasts paint a macro picture of massive growth fueled by RWA adoption, Aave's path forward hinges on addressing its core structural limitations and competitive pressures within the evolving DeFi lending landscape.

Tidal Investment: We Remain Bullish on the AI Industry Chain, But the Reasons Have Changed

Tidal Investment remains optimistic about the AI industry chain, but the rationale has shifted. The market narrative has changed. While recent large-scale IPOs (e.g., SpaceX) and major fundraising plans by tech giants like Alphabet and Meta have caused some nervousness, this isn't a sign of an AI peak. The focus has moved from the initial question of AI's viability to the sustainability of massive investment cycles. The key players—primarily the major cloud providers—are not slowing down; their capital expenditure (Capex) guidance for 2026 has been increased across the board (e.g., Alphabet to $180B, Amazon to $200B). This investment cycle is proving resilient and difficult to stop. Unlike traditional hardware cycles, current AI Capex is distributed across multiple physical layers—computing, memory, networking, and critically, power infrastructure. Bottlenecks are shifting from chips to elements like electricity, transformers, and cooling systems, which have much longer lead times and cannot be easily pre-built like fiber optics during the dot-com bubble. Supply chain data (e.g., Eaton's 240% YoY data center orders) confirms this broad-based, project-driven expansion. Market concerns are acknowledged but viewed differently. First, while Capex growth currently outpaces revenue growth, raising ROI questions, this mirrors the early scaling phase of cloud computing itself. A change in view would require concrete signals like downward Capex revisions or missed AI product targets, which haven't materialized by mid-2026. Second, comparisons to the 2000 dot-com bust are flawed. That crash was driven by a massive, parallel oversupply of cheap capacity (fiber). The current cycle faces *supply constraints* in critical, capital-intensive physical infrastructure that cannot be overbuilt as easily. In conclusion, the wave of fundraising reflects the next, more complex act of the AI story. Physical bottlenecks and sustained high Capex plans suggest this is not the finale but an ongoing, capital-intensive build-out phase. The script has changed, but the play is far from over.

Tidal Investment: We Remain Bullish on the AI Industry Chain, But for Different Reasons Now

Tidal Investments remains optimistic about the AI industry chain, but the rationale has shifted. The market is concerned about massive concurrent fundraising by tech giants like SpaceX, OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta, fearing an AI peak. However, the authors argue this signals the next act of AI development, not its end. Capital expenditure (Capex) from major cloud providers (Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle) continues to surge aggressively into 2026. This investment cycle is more resilient than past hardware cycles due to its scale and complexity. Bottlenecks have shifted from chips to critical physical infrastructure like power grids, transformers, cooling, and data center construction—areas with long lead times and limited capacity for rapid expansion. Supply chain data (e.g., Eaton's orders) confirms substantial, tangible progress. Key market concerns are addressed: 1. **ROI vs. Capex Growth**: While Capex growth outpaces revenue, the authors note cloud giants have historically overcome similar phases through scale. The cycle will only be in danger if Capex guidance is cut, orders are canceled, or AI product demand falters—none of which are currently observed. 2. **Comparison to the 2000 Dot-com Bubble**: Unlike the telecom bubble, where cheap, oversupplied fiber crashed prices, AI infrastructure (especially power) is constrained, customized, and subject to lengthy approvals, making a similar supply glut and crash unlikely. In conclusion, the wave of fundraising reflects the immense, ongoing capital needs for AI's next phase, constrained by slow-moving physical bottlenecks. The AI cycle is not over; the script has simply changed.

Grayscale: These 15 Profitable Crypto Protocols Are Severely Undervalued

Grayscale Research identifies 15 top-revenue crypto protocols trading at significant valuation discounts, with many at single-digit or even 1x revenue multiples. Protocols like Pump.fun, PancakeSwap, and Meteora have market capitalizations roughly equal to their annual revenue. The report argues these financially-focused protocols (DEXs, lending, staking) are fundamentally undervalued and could benefit from the potential passage of the CLARITY Act, expected as soon as next month. This legislation aims to clarify digital asset regulation, potentially reducing institutional barriers and driving on-chain activity. The analysis breaks down the protocols into three groups: the "1x Club" (market cap ≈ revenue), mid-tier protocols with 3-9x multiples (e.g., Aave, Lido, Jupiter), and high-multiple protocols like Hyperliquid (15x) and Uniswap (37x), where valuation reflects future potential rather than current cash flows. Grayscale applies a traditional DCF model to Aave, suggesting a one-year price target of ~$175, representing ~130% upside from current levels. The report notes a risk-off macro environment since the Iran conflict has further compressed valuations, creating a potential entry window. The conclusion highlights that while the valuation data presents an intriguing opportunity, the investment thesis is contingent on the CLARITY Act's passage and subsequent institutional capital flows. Investors are cautioned to consider Grayscale's inherent conflict of interest as a crypto asset manager with products tied to these assets.
