The decline in venture funding activity was attributed to market volatility, which caused many founders to reconsider or postpone their rounds, particularly in the later stages.
Crypto venture funding, which saw a record Q1 in 2022, saw Coinbase Ventures’ deal pace slow in the second quarter, with the total count decreasing 34%, from 71 to 47.
