The total venture capital investment in blockchain in May 2022 was $1.43 billion, registering a month-on-month decline of 78.6%. The findings were reported by OKX Blockdream Ventures, an investment arm of world-leading cryptocurrency platform OKX.

As for the number of investments, the total number of investments in May 2022 was 82, with a year-on-year decrease of 66.3%. It was the lowest month since April 2021. Web3, infrastructure and NFTs were the three largest sectors.

Amid the current bear market, Bitcoin’s overall network activity remains healthy and growing. According to the report, on-chain metrics for BTC are relatively healthy, with the number of monthly active addresses for BTC in May increasing by 3.8% compared to April.

The number of monthly transactions for Bitcoin in May was 8.05 million, with an increase of 2.94% compared to 7.82 million in the previous month.

The report, titled ‘OKX Blockdream Ventures monthly report — May 2022’, shows that the investment arm funded five startups in May, including SSV Network, Ever Finance, WAX, Sweatcoin, and Alien Swap. It also relates that, globally, investment institutions have been more hesitant amid greater market fluctuations and heightened risk.

Dora Yue, Founder, OKX Blockdream Ventures, said:

“The current crypto winter will not stop us from investing in innovative blockchain projects and the teams they need to continue refining and perfecting their products. We also firmly believe that companies that are both sound and innovative will survive this winter and come out the other side better than before.”

The report additionally claims that the explosion of NFTs spurred on a number of other markets including those of art, music, photography, sports, and gaming. By June 1, 2022, the total market cap for NFT marketplaces was $16.972 billion, an explosive growth of 533 times compared to two years ago.

Although, the overall venture capital investment in blockchain has increased from the previous year. According to the report, $28.8 billion was raised in the first five months of 2022, compared with $7.85 billion in 2021, representing a year-on-year growth of +291.46%.
