Even though crypto markets have cooled off, investor interest is anything but cold—especially in the world of centralized finance (CeFi). According to a report by Messari and Dove Metrics, over $30.3 billion was poured into crypto and blockchain projects in 2022 alone—surpassing even the record-breaking numbers of 2021.
CeFi Attracts the Majority of Funding
With $10.2 billion flowing into the sector, centralized finance (CeFi) leads the pack. The bulk of this capital is going to crypto exchanges, payment platforms, crypto savings, digital banking, and asset management. These figures underscore the sustained trust in centralized crypto models—even during bearish conditions.
DeFi Defies the Downtrend
Although decentralized finance (DeFi) saw “only” $1.8 billion in funding, this still marks a 133% increase compared to the previous year. In June 2022 alone, over $624 million went into DeFi projects—double the amount invested in any of the six preceding months.
NFTs Still Draw Big Investment – Gaming in the Spotlight
Despite the fading media hype, NFT projects continue to secure massive funding, especially in the gaming sector. In Q2 2022, the NFT space attracted $4 billion—four times more than in the same period the year before. Of this, $4.1 billion was dedicated to gaming NFTs, highlighting their dominant role in the segment.
Web3 and Infrastructure Experience Explosive Growth
The Web 3.0 sector posted the fastest growth, with a 764% year-over-year increase. Investment focused on media, entertainment, DAOs, and VR/AR innovations. Additionally, blockchain infrastructure gained momentum, particularly in the development of next-gen smart contract platforms.
Investor Sentiment Remains Strong
Despite the broader market correction, institutional capital keeps flowing. In the first half of 2022, $35.9 billion was raised for crypto-related ventures—clear evidence that long-term investors still believe in the future of blockchain and digital finance.
