In Q1 of 2023, venture capital funding for Web3 and crypto has dropped by 80% compared to the same period last year, which is concerning for the investment landscape. However, projections for the full year are more optimistic, with an estimated $12 billion investment in 1,876 blockchain transactions. This would still represent a 64% decrease from the previous year, leading some experts to speculate that the market is undergoing a correction after a period of rapid growth and speculation. Despite the challenges, this presents an opportunity for reflection, consolidation, and the development of more sustainable business models to advance decentralized technologies.
