Blockchain Funding Weekly: $110M Raised Across 16 Deals, AI Dominates Investment Flows (June 16-22)
Market Pulse: Funding Dips But AI Shines
Last week’s blockchain funding rounds totaled $110 million across 16 deals, representing a 43% drop in capital despite two additional deals compared to the prior period. As someone who’s tracked these trends since 2018, I see this as part of a broader market correction - what we in Chicago jokingly call ‘crypto winter weight loss.’
The AI Gold Rush Continues
AI projects accounted for 42% of disclosed funding, with three notable deals:
- Cluely ($15M): Developing undetectable AI assistants for professional scenarios (a16z backed)
- PrismaX ($11M): Decentralized robot vision data platform (a16z led)
- Gradient Network ($10M): Infrastructure for decentralized AI training
The pattern suggests VCs are hedging bets - pouring money into AI applications that could integrate with blockchain rather than pure crypto plays.
Infrastructure Gets Strategic
Several nine-figure infrastructure plays caught my quant models’ attention:
- Units Network ($10M): Building modular blockchain tools for AI projects
- Ubyx ($10M): Stablecoin interoperability system by ex-Citi execs
- TAC ($11.5M total): EVM-to-TON bridge solution
These suggest investors are prioritizing foundational tech over consumer-facing dApps - a smart move given current regulatory headwinds.
Regional Spotlight: Middle East Momentum
Dubai-based SaturnX raised \(3M for stablecoin payment APIs, already processing \)250M in transactions. Having consulted for MENA regulators, I’ll be watching if this sparks more regional fintech investment.
Full disclosure: My firm has no positions in mentioned projects, though we’re long on decentralized AI infrastructure as a sector.

L’hiver crypto fait son régime
110M$ en une semaine ? C’est ce qu’on appelle une ‘cure minceur’ en période de crypto-hiver ! Mais ne pleurez pas pour les investisseurs - l’IA est là pour sauver la mise avec 42% des fonds.
Les VCs jouent les équilibristes
Entre robots invisibles (Cluely) et vision décentralisée (PrismaX), on dirait que les capital-risqueurs ont trouvé leur nouveau joujou. Parier sur l’IA blockchain, c’est comme mettre du caviar sur des frites - surprenant mais potentiellement génial !
Et vous, vous prendriez quel côté de la mise ? 🚀 #CryptoGourmande
Blockchain-Diät mit KI-Beilage
Die letzte Funding-Woche war wie ein Berliner Winter: kühl für Krypto (43% weniger Kapital), aber warm für KI (42% aller Deals). Als ob VCs plötzlich beschlossen hätten: ‘Lieber neuronale Netze füttern als Bitcoin-Memes!’
a16z’s Buffet Cluely, PrismaX, Gradient Network – klingt wie Sci-Fi, ist aber echtes VC-Futter. Mein quantitatives Ich sagt: Das ist kein Hype, sondern Hedge gegen regulatorische Eiszeiten!
Infrastruktur-Deals? Absolut stabil (wortwörtlich bei Ubyx). Während Retail-Investoren noch Dogecoin moonen, bauen kluge Köpfe Brücken – nicht nach Wolkenkuckucksheim, sondern von EVM zu TON.
MENA-Alert: SaturnX beweist, dass Dubai lieber mit Stablecoins zahlt als mit Kamelen. Wer wetten will? Ich halte Popcorn bereit für die nächste Runde!
AI का जादू चल रहा है!
पिछले हफ्ते ब्लॉकचेन फंडिंग में $110M की गिरावट आई, लेकिन AI प्रोजेक्ट्स ने 42% फंडिंग अपने नाम कर ली! क्या यह ‘क्रिप्टो विंटर वेट लॉस’ का असर है या फिर AI की जीत? 😄
VC भाइयों का प्यार
a16z जैसे बड़े निवेशक Cluely और PrismaX को फंडिंग दे रहे हैं। लगता है अब रोबोट्स को भी ब्लॉकचेन की जरूरत पड़ने लगी है!
मुझे क्यों लगता है यह सही है?
इन्फ्रास्ट्रक्चर प्रोजेक्ट्स में निवेश दिखा रहा है कि अब खिलौनों (dApps) से ज्यादा नींव मजबूत करने पर ध्यान दिया जा रहा है। शाबाश!
आपका क्या ख्याल है? क्या AI ब्लॉकचेन का भविष्य है या यह सिर्फ एक चलन है? कमेंट में बताइए!
Geldregen mit KI-Beigeschmack
Die Blockchain-Branche hat mal wieder ihre eigene Version von ‘Wer wird Millionär?’ gespielt - diesmal mit 110 Millionen Dollar und 16 glücklichen Gewinnern. Aber hey, Hauptsache die Künstliche Intelligenz kassiert 42% des Kuchens!
Winterdiät für Crypto
43% weniger Kapital als letztes Mal? Das nenne ich mal eine effektive Krypto-Diät! Vielleicht sollten wir das ‘Crypto Winter Weight Loss Program’ patentieren lassen.
Wer hats erfunden?
Natürlich wieder a16z - die Schweizer Taschenmesser der VC-Welt. Die wetten jetzt auf KI-Assistenten, die niemand entdeckt… sehr verdächtig, wenn ihr mich fragt!
Zwinkerndes Emoji Wer von euch hat auch das Gefühl, dass wir bald Blockchain-Projekte nur noch als Beilage zu KI-Lösungen serviert bekommen?
“암호화 겨울 다이어트” 성공적이네요
16개 프로젝트에 1억1천만 달러 투자됐는데, 전주比 43% 감소… AI만 살찌고 나머진 체중계 공포 중. 특히 a16z가 푼 3건의 AI 먹잇감(클루리, 프리즈마X)이 전체의 42% 차지.
인프라 투자는 “맨몸운동” 모드
유닛스 네트워크 같은 모듈형 블록체인 툴에 집중하는 걸 보니, VCs도 이제 ‘근육(기반기술)’ 키우기에 눈떴나 봐요. 두바이 스테이블코인 프로젝트는 이미 2억5천만 달러 처리 중이라더니… 다음 주는 어디가 통통해질까요? 🤔 (참고: 본인 포지션 없음, 그냥 재미로 쓰는 퀀트 분석)
Crypto winter pero may AI heater!
Grabe ang \(110M funding kahit 43% drop - parang diet plan ng crypto na laging may cheat day! 😂 Pinakamalakas? AI projects tulad ni Cluely na \)15M ang budget para sa ‘undetectable assistants’ - feeling ko mga ex ko gumawa nito para di ko sila ma-block!
Ang strategy ngayon: Mag-invest sa AI na pwedeng isabay sa blockchain. Parang turon na may ice cream - weird combo pero bumenta! (Looking at you, PrismaX at Gradient Network)
Tara sa comments: Sino dito naghihintay pa rin ng ROI sa NFT nila? 🤡 #CryptoWinterButMakeItAI
VC giờ chỉ mê AI thôi à?
Tuần này các quỹ đổ $110 triệu vào blockchain, nhưng 42% là dành cho AI - chắc các startup crypto giờ phải học thêm khóa ‘How to dress up as AI’ để hút funding quá! 😆
Mùa đông tiền mã hóa
Crypto winter weight loss phiên bản Việt: số deal tăng nhưng tiền ít đi 43%. Thiệt tình, các nhà đầu tư giờ khôn như cá mập, chỉ rót vào mấy ông có áo blazer AI khoác ngoài.
Gọi vốn kiểu… xây nền móng
Đáng chú ý là $10M cho Units Network - chuyên build đồ chơi blockchain cho AI. Kiểu như đầu tư vào công ty sản xuất xẻng giữa cơn sốt vàng ấy mà! 🤣
Ai cùng quan điểm cứ comment cái coi - hay bạn đang ôm đống shitcoin khóc ròng đây?
ब्लॉकचेन की पार्टी में AI का धमाल!
पिछले हफ्ते ब्लॉकचेन फंडिंग में $110M की बारिश हुई, पर AI प्रोजेक्ट्स ने 42% फंड अपने नाम किया! जैसे कि कोई दिवाली सेल चल रही हो - सारे VC क्रिप्टो को छोड़ AI के पीछे भागते नज़र आए।
सबसे मजेदार बात?
Cluely जैसी कंपनियाँ ‘अदृश्य AI असिस्टेंट’ बना रही हैं - शायद वो वीसी की मीटिंग्स में गायब होने के लिए! 😂
अब सवाल ये है: क्या ये सच्चा इनोवेशन है या फिर एक और टेक बुलबुला? कमेंट में बताओ आपका क्या ख्याल है!
IA é o novo bacalhau
Parece que os VCs descobriram que IA dá mais lucro que bacalhau assado! 42% do funding foi para projetos de IA, incluindo assistentes “indetetáveis” - perfeitos para quando seu chefe perguntar quem esqueceu o café ligado.
Inverno Cripto? Mais como dieta!
Queda de 43% no investimento total? Chamo isso de ‘dieta do inverno cripto’ - até os blockchains precisam emagrecer depois dos excessos bull market!
E vocês, acham que essa febre por IA vai durar ou é só modinha como o kimchi na Feira da Ladra? Comentem abaixo!
