This indicates that there were more smaller-sized deals in the first half of this year.<\/p>\n<p>The Crunchbase report further stated that crypto startup funding reached $4.2 billion in Q2 2022, nearly the same as the little less than $4.2 billion raised in Q2 2021.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Q2 2022 funding was nearly a billion less than the $5.1 billion raised in Q1 2022 and way behind the $6.1 billion raised in Q4 2021, the report stated.<\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons why Q1 2022 saw more funding is because there were more large funding rounds, the report said. In the first quarter of this year, there were six rounds of $400 million or more while there was only one such round in Q2.<\/p>\n<p>The report highlighted that the fall in crypto venture funding corresponds with the larger downturn in VC funding this year.<\/p>\n<p>Yash Patel, general partner at Telstra Ventures, which has invested in FTX Exchange, said in the report:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYes, we\u2019ve seen a pullback in crypto\/blockchain investments, mirroring the broader tech markets.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Patel added that the liquidity issues of centralized crypto lenders, among which is Celsius, have created a sense of fear among VCs and users alike.
