How to Understand the Latest Trends in Crypto VC Fundraising

The post How to Understand the Latest Trends in Crypto VC Fundraising appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A new report on VC fundraising in the crypto space provides interesting conclusions. The sector is undergoing deep consolidation, with fewer projects receiving substantially more capital. Sectors like DeFi, AI, and blockchains are getting a lot of interest, whereas RWAs, DePIN, NFTs, and GameFi are falling by the wayside. Aligning with major players’ preferences may be the only way to receive fresh inflows. Sponsored Sponsored Crypto VC Fundraising Analyzed A few months ago, VC fundraising in the crypto space was in full swing, with institutional investment powering $10 billion in inflows in Q2 alone. Since then, however, this sector has apparently cooled somewhat, as token launches began taking precedent over traditional VC routes. A new report aims to fully quantify the data and identify useful trends. Throughout September 2025, crypto VC fundraising rounds fell dramatically on several points. Compared to the previous month, the total number of rounds fell by 25.3%, and this magnified to 37.4% next to September 2024. In other words, the number of fundraising rounds isn’t just falling; the rate of decline is increasing at breakneck speed. However, this data is slightly misleading. Although the number of distinct VC fundraising events in crypto dropped like a rock, there’s vastly more capital involved. Looking at the raw value of total fundraising, last month had a 739.7% increase year-over-year. Sponsored Sponsored A Consolidating Market In total, this represents around $5.1 billion in total VC fundraising capital for the crypto sector. As prominent firms aim for major IPOs, these aggressive rounds are ballooning in size and diminishing in total number. Last month, multiple single fundraising rounds surpassed the total capital raised in September 2024: Crypto Fundraising Last Month.

DoubleZero launches mainnet-beta and 2Z token

The post DoubleZero launches mainnet-beta and 2Z token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. DoubleZero announced the launch of its mainnet-beta on October 2, marking a transition from controlled testing to full-scale production and coinciding with the public debut of the 2Z token. According to the announcement, the network now runs on more than 70 high-performance fiber links across over 25 global locations, contributed by independent providers such as Jump, RockawayX, Distributed Global, Galaxy, Jito and Cumberland/DRW. These links form a dedicated backbone engineered for low-latency, deterministic routing to support high-throughput distributed systems. The launch follows a staged rollout. Early testnet phases deliberately stress-tested redundancy and failover, while the September 15 mainnet-alpha allowed validators to validate performance at scale. Data from epoch 24 showed that 77% of active links and 82% of measured city-pair routes outperformed the public internet, underscoring the gains of a dedicated transport layer. At the core of the system is the 2Z token, a Solana Program Library (SPL) asset used for payments, staking and contributor rewards. Genesis supply is capped at 10 billion tokens, with modest inflation to reward network contributions and partial burns to discourage artificial traffic. This news follows recent guidance from the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance, where staff issued a no-action letter confirming that 2Z does not need to be registered as a security and that programmatic flows on the DoubleZero network are not considered securities transactions. This marks a departure from the Commission’s historically cautious stance on token classification, which previously left infrastructure-linked assets in a gray area. Indications suggest the agency is growing ever more open to distinguishing utility-driven distribution models from speculative instruments — a shift that could shape how future DePIN projects approach regulatory compliance.

Will ETH Outpace the AI Trend, or Will Ozak AI Deliver Superior ROI by 2026?

The post Will ETH Outpace the AI Trend, or Will Ozak AI Deliver Superior ROI by 2026? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. One of the most critical contests in the cryptocurrency market is between the established blockchain network Ethereum (ETH) and the new artificial intelligence (AI)-based platform Ozak AI. As Ethereum approaches the price of $4,200 and Ozak AI presale gains traction, the question emerges: Will Ethereum remain the top dog in the market, or will Ozak AI outperform it in the next few years? The Strength of Ethereum and its Market Potential Ether is also doing very well and is valued at $4,161.33, and its market capitalization is 500.87 billion. The cryptocurrency has experienced significant price appreciation with the rising whale activity. Analysts believe that once ETH reaches the level of over 4,200, the price is likely to skyrocket to the 4,600-4,700 zone. The performance of Ethereum is still based on the progress of decentralized finance (DeFi) apps, which are still expanding on its network. The Ethereum network, which is characterized by its decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contract functions, has received massive investments. Although Ethereum continues to be a force in the blockchain industry, the emergence of new technologies, more so AI, is changing the game. This brings in a new player, Ozak AI, a new platform that is at the intersection of AI and blockchain, providing predictive analytics of financial markets. Ozak AI: A New Competitor with Prospective Technology With its predictive analytics platform based on machine learning and decentralized networks, Ozak AI is rapidly developing attention. The Ozak AI ecosystem is a no-code financial forecasting engine that runs on the $OZ token and enables users to build AI models. The Ozak Stream Network of the platform offers real-time information, and the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) make it fast, secure, and scalable. The fact that the platform is partnering with the Pyth Network, which provides real-time data on…

Valour Launches Bitcoin Staking ETP on London Stock Exchange; Ozak AI Maintains Growing Community Attention

The post Valour Launches Bitcoin Staking ETP on London Stock Exchange; Ozak AI Maintains Growing Community Attention appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ozak AI has taken great momentum and acquired the status of one of the top AI-driven crypto projects in 2025. The presale was organized into five phases. Stage 1: $0.001, Stage 2: $0.002, Stage 3: $0.003, Stage 4: $0.005, and Stage 5: $0.01. The project is on Stage 6 at the price of $0.012, and it brings over 900% returns to the early adopters. Until now, the number of tokens sold is above 916 million, almost $3.39 million has been raised and the presale has already exceeded 80%. The next phase is under close observation by the investors because the price is likely to increase before the final launch target of $1, which can provide up to 20,000% ROI. The overall supply is more than 831 million tokens, and good distributions among participants of the presale give Ozak AI an opportunity to gain trust and excitement among its growing user base. Valour became the first physically-backed Bitcoin Staking ETP in the London Stock Exchange As long as the Ozak AI continues to be a source of investor attention, the crypto market, in general, is characterized by a revolutionary breakthrough. Recently Valour declared the opening of a physically-backed Bitcoin Staking Exchange Traded Product (ETP) in the London Stock Exchange (LSE). The product is 1:1 backed with Bitcoin and provides its holders with an annual yield of 1.4%, merging traditional finance with the decentralized opportunity to invest. This step continues to legalize the use of crypto in the major marketplaces and enhance the popularity of Bitcoin as a long-term digital currency. Such structured products offer investors an additional amount of certainty in the overall crypto ecosystem and this benefits projects such as Ozak AI that are pioneering in the related fields. By the middle of 2025, AI crypto tokens boost explosive growth…

Ozak AI Raises Millions, BlockDAG Grows Fast, Yet Pepeto Presale Crushes Both

The post Ozak AI Raises Millions, BlockDAG Grows Fast, Yet Pepeto Presale Crushes Both appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News The presale scene is heating up, and a few projects are breaking through the noise with major inflows. Ozak AI is attracting AI-focused investors with $2.6 million raised and fresh partnerships. BlockchainFX is building momentum as a multi-asset super app, crossing $7 million while rolling out a presale Visa card. Pepeto, the fast-rising meme coin, has pulled in over $6.8 million, offers 224% staking rewards, and already launched a demo exchange. Meanwhile, BlockDAG shocked the market by locking nearly $410 million and onboarding millions of miners even before its mainnet. Ozak AI: AI Utility Meets DePIN Growth Early backers of Ozak AI who entered at $0.01 are already seeing upside as the token advances through presale stages. With each round lifting the price, modest early positions are turning into strong potential gains ahead of exchange listing. Ozak AI brings real-world credibility with its mix of predictive AI systems, decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN), and automation through the Ozak Stream Network. This is more than just hype, it is technology aimed at scaling. Still, while Ozak is building its lane, Pepeto stands out for combining meme strength with real tools. Its demo exchange is already live, and unlike Ozak’s higher entry, Pepeto trades at just $0.000000156, giving investors one of the lowest-cost entries in the market. BlockchainFX Breaks $7M As Presale Runs Hot BlockchainFX has moved past $7 million, with token pricing set to rise from $0.022 to $0.05 at launch. That gives presale buyers a clear double before listing, fueling demand in early rounds. The project aims to be a decentralized super app linking crypto, stocks, forex, and ETFs on one platform. A presale-only Visa card adds to its appeal, supporting 20+ tokens and linking staking payouts to real-world use. Yet while BlockchainFX targets financial services, Pepeto is gaining…

Introducing ONyc Global Access: The permissionless path to on-chain institutional yield

The post Introducing ONyc Global Access: The permissionless path to on-chain institutional yield appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. OnRe, the on-chain asset manager bringing institutional-grade high yield to DeFi, today announced expanded global access for ONyc through a new, independently operated permissionless channel. This new channel gives DeFi users a direct, frictionless way to tap into reinsurance yield. In just the first week of its soft launch through OnReʼs Points Program, more than $1M of ONyc has been acquired through this new route, underscoring demand for real-world, institutional-grade yield in DeFi. Breaking down barriers to institutional yield For decades, reinsurance has been one of the most consistent and uncorrelated sources of institutional return, yet access has been tightly controlled by capital requirements, regulation, and intermediaries. OnRe is dismantling those barriers, opening direct access to a $1.2T market previously closed to most investors. This new structure is operated independently of OnReʼs regulated business and provides a complementary route for DeFi users as part of a dual-pathway model increasingly adopted by protocols bridging institutional and decentralized markets. Key benefits include: Direct channel designed for DeFi participants Support for self-custodied wallets and decentralized workflows Global availability, subject to jurisdictional restrictions “Weʼre democratizing access to one of institutional financeʼs most reliable return sources,ˮ said Ayyan Rahman, Co-Founder and CGO at OnRe. “This product evolution represents DeFi infrastructure finally maturing to support genuine institutional-scale opportunities on-chain.” Enhanced point multipliers for early adopters To mark the launch, OnRe is running a two-week points campaign (October 1- October 15) with significant multipliers: Day-One Launch Bonus: 10x Multiplier (One-Time Event): Any ONyc minted on October 1 receives a 10x OnRe Points boost on the amount acquired – the highest bonus offered to date. Permissionless Flow Bonus: 3x Points: All ONyc acquired and held through the permissionless channel during the two-week campaign earns 3x OnRe Points daily. Retroactive Rewards: Early Supporter Credits: Any ONyc acquired from September…

‘Not securities’ – SEC greenlights 2Z, DEPIN sector rallies!

The post ‘Not securities’ – SEC greenlights 2Z, DEPIN sector rallies! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways What does this SEC greenlight mean for the DEPIN sector? It could encourage contributions to DEPIN networks without concerns over regulatory risk. How did the market respond? The market size of the segment increased by 3% to $34B. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) gave DEPIN (decentralized physical infrastructure networks) one of its clearest signals yet. In a “no action” letter, the regulator said it will not “recommend enforcement action” against Double Zero’s 2Z token distribution. The agency added, “Programmatic transfers that are conducted in the manner and under the circumstances described in your letter are not registered under Section 5 of the Securities Act.” Source: SEC Double Zero runs a low-latency DEPIN that leverages underutilized physical fiber to help blockchains overcome frictions in traditional networks. In return, the firm plans to allocate its native token, 2Z, to participants who share their resources for the network. DEPIN tokens bounce on clarity Reacting to the update, Commissioner Hester Peirce clarified that DEPIN tokens are not investment contracts but “incentives” to help build a network. Noting that the category sits outside the scope of securities law, she added, “Treating such tokens as securities would suppress the growth of networks of distributed providers of services.” Peirce cautioned that markets should determine the success of such blockchain projects, and not regulators. Double Zero welcomed the clarity, stressing that, “Contributors can receive 2Z without fear of being caught in an unregulated securities transaction.” Double Zero is currently in testnet, with Solana [SOL], Sui [SUI], and other chains and could hit mainnet soon. That said, the regulatory clarity lifted the sector. Sector-wide rally Zebec Network [ZBCN], Helium IOT [IOT] and Dynex [DNX] led the daily gainers list with double-digit rallies in the past 24 hours. The overall size of the sector surged 3%…
