Infrastructure startups led the fundraising efforts once again. For instance, the EVM blockchain project Monad, which offers parallel transactions to enhance scalability, raised $225 million. Applications were just a little behind: Farcaster received $150 million, boosting its valuation to $1 billion.
It is a rebalancing of private investments away from infrastructure to applications,
said Tarun Chitra, a partner at Robot Ventures.
Analysts observed that preliminary valuations at early stages have nearly doubled (+97%) compared to the previous year, while late-stage valuations have decreased by a third (-36%). Despite this, they anticipate further growth in investments, as there are no indications of a downturn.
