CryptoRank recorded $436.9 million across 27 crypto funding rounds from Oct. 1 through Oct. 18, with a $208 million Strive entry making up nearly half the partial-month total.
The data provider’s latest 30-day measure showed $1.13 billion invested across 65 rounds. Value fell 75.8% from the previous month, while the number of rounds declined 27.8%. That rolling measure covers a different period from the October tally.
CryptoRank classified Strive’s Oct. 13 entry as a post-IPO round and listed its investors as undisclosed. It represented about 47.6% of the Oct. 1-18 total and about 89% of disclosed funding for the week of Oct. 12-18.
Other disclosed deals that week were smaller. Fission raised $10 million in a Series A round that included Pantera Capital. The Block reported that Multiliquid’s developer raised $8 million across pre-seed and seed rounds, with Polychain Capital leading the seed round. CryptoRank also listed a $5.2 million seed round for Zaria and $2 million in strategic financing for Spout Finance.
The weekly list included merger-and-acquisition entries for Efforce and Farcaster with undisclosed values. Funding amounts were also undisclosed for rounds involving EFY Finance and AIsa.
For context, September ended with $680.5 million across 52 rounds, after August brought in $1.59 billion across 62 rounds. Those are full-month figures; the October count covers only the first 18 days.
Over the past six months, application programming interface projects drew the largest investment share in CryptoRank’s breakdown, at 29.19%. Payments and artificial intelligence each accounted for 20.10%, followed by data services and real-world assets at 15.31% each.
Coinbase Ventures and YZi Labs were the most active investors over that six-month period, with 29 deals apiece. Animoca Brands had 16 deals, Andreessen Horowitz’s a16z crypto unit had 15, and Circle and SBI Holdings had 11 each.
