Play-To-Earn Games News, P2E Games News | 10 Jun 2023 17:56 UTC

Web3 and crypto sectors suffered a massive downfall in 2022 with blockchain projects crumbling and investments almost freezing. Raging crypto winter deterred investors and a number of VC deals paused for a moment. Although the crypto winter had its fair share of downturns, it cleared the industry from getting rich quickly kind of investors. The declining figures pushed short-term fast money grabbers out of the market. Moreover, it also opened up the path for sustainable development. As for the investments, surprisingly, the data was the complete opposite in 2022. It shows that VC investors still believe in Web3

Additionally, Robert Le, a senior analyst at PitchBook, reports that venture capital investors continue to have faith in Web3. In Q3 2022, VCs invested approximately $1.5B into Web3 companies. Although funding has decreased compared to 2021, Web3 remains an attractive area for investors. Moreover, investors and experts view Web3 as having significant potential.
