The Web3 CoinFund investment fund managed to raise 158 million dollars, exceeding its initial objectives, in order to support crypto start-ups in the start-up phase. This large amount reflects the growing interest of investors in the cryptocurrency and blockchain technology sector.
More than expected

Polychain Capital and CoinFund: promising fundraising
Alongside CoinFund’s fundraising, venture capital giant Polychain Capital also managed to raise around $200 million in its first round of financing for its fourth investment fund. Despite these successes, both companies still have higher fundraising targets, with Polychain Capital aiming to reach a total of $400 million.
Reasons for interest in crypto startups

Challenges for crypto startups
Despite growing investor interest, crypto start-ups face several obstacles, such as:
- Regulation: Many countries are seeking to regulate the use of cryptocurrencies, which may limit the possibilities offered by these new technologies.
- Security: Cryptocurrency-related platforms and projects are often the target of computer attacks, jeopardizing user funds and the reputation of the companies involved.
- Widespread adoption: although cryptocurrencies are increasingly popular, they are still far from being widely adopted as a means of payment or exchange.

In addition to CoinFund and Polychain Capital, other major venture capitalists have also specialized in financing crypto start-ups. These include Dragonfly Capital, Andreessen Horowitz and Multicoin Capital.

They make it possible to financially support promising projects, thus offering them the opportunity to develop and contribute to the evolution of the sector.

With financial support from specialized investment firms, such as CoinFund and Polychain Capital, these start-ups have the opportunity to overcome the challenges they face and to actively participate in the advancement of cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies.
