For Q3, the U.S. was followed by Asia with $1.4 billion invested, and Europe with $1.1 billion.

Globally, crypto exchange FTX’s $900 million funding round led all equity deals in the third quarter, followed by a $680 million raise from France-based non-fungible token (NFT) platform Sorare and a $431 million funding round by bitcoin miner Genesis Digital Assets, according to CB Insights.

Crypto exchanges were the leading industry segment in the quarter, raising nearly $2 billion in venture funding, up from just $84 million raised in the third quarter of 2020.
