Crypto Funding Roundup: $110M Poured into 16 Projects, AI Dominates (June 16-22)
Crypto’s Capital Carousel: Who Got Funded This Week?
The Big Picture
Another week, another \(110 million sloshing through crypto's pipes. The June 16-22 funding round saw **16 deals** - a slight uptick from last week's 14 - but with significantly smaller average checks (down 44% to \)6.9M per deal). This continues the trend we’ve observed since May: investors aren’t necessarily pulling back, but they’re being more surgical with their bets.
AI Eats Crypto (Again)
The standout? AI-crypto hybrids accounted for nearly half the total funding. Notable raises:
- Cluely ($15M): Building “undetectable” AI assistants for professional scenarios (a16z-backed)
- PrismaX ($11M seed): Decentralized incentive models for robot vision data (a16z CSX led)
- Gradient Network ($10M): Community-driven decentralized AI infrastructure
My take: The narrative that “AI is sucking oxygen from crypto” needs refinement. What we’re seeing is convergence - projects blending AI’s utility with crypto’s incentives are winning checks.
Stablecoins & Infrastructure Show Resilience
Despite the AI hype, traditional crypto sectors held their own:
- Ubyx ($10M): Ex-Citi team building stablecoin-bank bridges
- TAC ($11.5M total): EVM-to-TON interoperability solution
- SaturnX ($3M): Profitable stablecoin rails for emerging markets
The common thread? Real-world use cases with measurable traction. As one VC whispered to me last Thursday: “We’ll fund infrastructure all day long if it actually moves money.”
The Cold Hard Dashboard
| Metric | This Week | Δ WoW |
|---|---|---|
| Total Deals | 16 | +14% |
| Disclosed Funding | $110M | -44% |
| Avg Deal Size | $6.9M | -52% |
| % AI-Related | 47% | +18pp |
Bottom Line
While the dollar amounts might suggest cooling interest, the activity tells a different story. Investors aren’t fleeing crypto - they’re demanding clearer paths to adoption. The days of funding whitepapers are over; now it’s about demonstrable tech plus business models that don’t require hopium.
Pro tip for founders: If your pitch deck has more mentions of “web3 revolution” than actual customers, maybe wait for the next bull run.

Инвесторы стали хирургами
$110 миллионов разлетелись на 16 стартапов, причем почти половина ушла в АИ-гибриды. Видимо, теперь даже алгоритмы должны уметь майнить!
Где мой стабильной монетки?
Пока все бегают за ИИ, умные ребята из Ubyx строят мосты для стейблкоинов. Как говорится, «крипто — это хорошо, а реальные деньги — лучше».
Совет дня от бывалого
Если в вашем pitch deck’e больше слов «революция Web3», чем реальных клиентов — может, стоит подождать следующего бычьего рынка? 😏
А вы как думаете — АИ съест крипту или они поженятся?
AI กับ Crypto คู่แท้แห่งยุค
อีกสัปดาห์กับเงินทุน 110 ล้านดอลลาร์ที่ไหลเข้า Crypto! แต่คราวนี้ AI มาแรงแซงทุกโปรเจกต์ จนอดคิดไม่ได้ว่า… “ถ้า AI เก่งขนาดนี้ ทำไมยังแก้ปัญหา ROI ให้ผมไม่ได้นะ?” 😅
ช้อปปิ้งเงินทุนแบบ外科醫師
นักลงทุนยุคนี้เลือกลงทุนแบบเป๊ะๆ เหมือนหมอผ่าตัด นี่ไม่ใช่ยุคที่ให้เงินกันเพราะ “แนวคิด” แล้วล่ะ แต่ต้องมี “ของจริง” ให้จับต้องได้!
ทิปสุดฮา: ถ้าเอกสารเสนอโครงการคุณมีแต่คำว่า “การปฏิวัติ Web3” โดยไม่มีลูกค้าจริง… รอตลาดวัวเกิดใหม่เถอะครับ! 🤣
#ใครคิดเหมือนผมบ้างว่าตอนนี้นักลงทุนเลือก 프로젝트 แบบสาวเลือกแฟน?
AI کا کریپٹو پر قبضہ
اس ہفتے $110M کی فنڈنگ میں سے تقریباً نصف AI-Crypto پروجیکٹس کو گئے! کیا یہ ٹیکنالوجی کی شادی ہے یا صرف ایک اور ‘بندروں والا شو’؟ 😄
مستحکم سکے بھی پیچھے نہیں
Ubyx اور SaturnX جیسے پراجیکٹس ثابت کر رہے ہیں کہ ‘پیسے والی بات’ اب بھی کام کرتی ہے۔ وی سی حضرات کہتے ہیں: ‘ہمیں وہ چیز چاہیے جو اصل میں چلے!’ 🤣
آخر میں ایک نصیحت
اگر آپ کا پچ ڈیک ‘ویب3 انقلاب’ سے بھرا ہے مگر صارفین نہیں… تو شاید آپ کو اگلے بل ران تک انتظار کرنا چاہیے! 😉
کیا آپ بھی AI اور Crypto کے اس ‘شادی شدہ زندگی’ پر تبصرہ کرنا چاہیں گے؟ ذرا نیچے بتائیں!
এই সপ্তাহে ক্রিপ্টো জগতে কী ঘটেছে? AI আর ক্রিপ্টোর মিলনে ১১০ মিলিয়ন ডলার ঢালা হয়েছে ১৬টি প্রজেক্টে! 😂
বিগ পিকচার: ইনভেস্টররা এখন হাতুড়ি দিয়ে নয়, সার্জিক্যাল স্ক্যালপেল দিয়ে বেটিং করছে। গড় চেক সাইজ ৪৪% কমে ৬.৯ মিলিয়ন!
AI-এর জয়জয়কার: Cluely, PrismaX - এরা সবাই AI-ক্রিপ্টো হাইব্রিডের রাজা। ভিসিএসদের এখন mantra: ‘হয় ইউটিলিটি দেখাও, নয়তো whitepaper নিয়ে পরের বুল রান পর্যন্ত অপেক্ষা কর!’
স্টেবলকয়েনের জেদ: Ubyx, TAC এরা প্রমাণ করলো রিয়েল ওয়ার্ল্ড ইউজ কেস ছাড়া এখন টাকা নেই।
আপনার কি মনে হয় এটা সত্যি ক্রিপ্টো-AI প্রেম, নাকি শুধুই hype? কমেন্টে জানান! 🤖💸
Опять эти умные машины забрали все бабки! 🤑
На этой неделе крипто-АИ проекты сожрали 47% от $110М финансирования. Видимо, инвесторы решили: “Если уж рисковать, то с искусственным интеллектом!”
Лучшие “попрошайки” недели:
- Cluely ($15M) - строит AI-ассистентов, которые “неотличимы от человека” (ну кроме того, что они не просят повышения зарплаты)
- PrismaX ($11M) - платит криптой за данные для роботов (наконец-то машины будут работать за токены!)
Инфраструктурные проекты пока держатся - видимо, инвесторы всё ещё верят, что кто-то должен двигать реальные деньги.
Как вам этот расклад? Пишите в комментарии - может, ваш стартап следующий получит чек? 😉
الذكاء الاصطناعي يتفوق مرة أخرى!
هذا الأسبوع، 47% من تمويلات الكريبتو ذهبت لمشاريع الذكاء الاصطناعي! هل سنرى قريبًا روبوتات تتداول بالأموال بينما نحن نائمون؟ 🤖💸
الاستثمارات أصبحت أكثر ذكاءً
المستثمرون لم يعودوا يرمون أموالهم على أي ورقة بيضاء (ويتيوبير)! الآن هم يبحثون عن مشاريع حقيقية - مثل الجسر بين البنوك والعملات المستقرة. أخيرًا بعض المنطق في هذا السوق!
نصيحتي للمطورين:
إذا كان عرضك التقديمي يحتوي على كلمة “ثورة ويب 3” أكثر من العملاء الحقيقيين… ربما يجب أن تنتظر حتى يرتفع السوق مرة أخرى! 😂
ما رأيكم؟ هل تعتقدون أن الذكاء الاصطناعي سيسيطر تمامًا على عالم الكريبتو؟ شاركونا آرائكم!
Ще $110 мільйонів у крипто-карусель
Цього тижня інвестори знову показали, що AI — це новий «хліб» для крипто. Але не будьте як ті, хто каже «вивчіть, що таке високий тиск» — тут все простіше: гроші течуть туди, де є реальні кейси.
AI + крипто = любов?
47% фінансування дісталося проектам на стику AI та блокчейну. Може, скоро наші AI-асистенти будуть не лише розумними, а й багатими?
Стабільність у стабікоїнах
Інфраструктурні проекти, такі як мости для стейблкоїнів, теж не залишилися без уваги. Мабуть, інвестори вирішили: «Якщо щось рухає гроші — ми за це заплатимо».
А ви як вважаєте — чи варто кидати всі сили на AI, чи краще робити ставку на стару добру інфраструктуру? 😏
AI và Crypto đang ‘yêu’ nhau đấy!
Tuần này, các nhà đầu tư đổ 110 triệu USD vào 16 dự án, gần một nửa là AI pha Crypto. Có vẻ như họ không còn mê whitepaper nữa mà chuộng những thứ ‘ăn ngay’ như AI undetectable hay robot vision data.
Stablecoin vẫn sống khỏe Dù AI lên ngôi, stablecoin và hạ tầng vẫn được rót tiền đều đều. Có lẽ các VC nghĩ: ‘Cứ xây cầu nối ngân hàng với stablecoin là tiền tự chảy vào túi’.
Choáng với bảng số liệu 47% deal là AI-related, nhưng avg deal size giảm 52%. Investor giờ chọn ‘gậy ông đập lưng ông’ thay vì ‘ném tiền qua cửa sổ’.
Các bạn nghĩ sao? Liệu có nên ‘all-in’ vào AI-crypto hay chờ bull run tiếp theo?
