According to @CoinMarketCap, crypto projects raised a combined $434M across 10 disclosed deals last week, led by CoinMENA’s $240M centralized exchange round (source: @CoinMarketCap on X, Dec 8, 2025). Based on @CoinMarketCap’s figures, sector allocation was concentrated in CEX ~$240M (~55%), L1 $50M (~12%), AI/DePIN $54M (~12%), cross-chain DEX $25M (~6%), RWA perps $20M (~5%), payments $17M (~4%), portfolio management $15M (~3%), yield marketplace $8M (~2%), and delta-neutral stablecoin infra $5M (~1%), indicating the strongest investor demand in trading venues and base-layer infrastructure (source: @CoinMarketCap on X, Dec 8, 2025). Top raises were CoinMENA $240M (CEX), Canton Network $50M (L1), Gonka $50M (AI, DePIN), and Portal $25M (cross-chain DEX), signaling capital concentration into exchanges, L1 ecosystems, AI/DePIN infrastructure, and cross-chain liquidity (source: @CoinMarketCap on X, Dec 8, 2025). Additional rounds were Ostium $20M (RWA perps), Fin $17M (payments), BitStack $15M (portfolio management), Zoo Finance $8M (yield marketplace), Axis $5M (delta-neutral stablecoin), and AIAV $4M (AI agents), broadening deal flow into RWA, payments, yield, and stablecoin primitives (source: @CoinMarketCap on X, Dec 8, 2025). For traders, these allocations identify currently capital-backed narratives—CEX, L1, cross-chain DEX, AI/DePIN, and RWA—based on the reported sector and size breakdown (source: @CoinMarketCap on X, Dec 8, 2025).

According to @CoinMarketCap, Upbit topped last week’s crypto fundraising ranking with $10.30B in the CEX category, source: CoinMarketCap. The list also includes ht.digital at $262.00M in Proof-of-Reserves, Fordefi at $100.00M in Wallet/MPC, Figure at $25.00M in RWA/Stablecoin, and Gonka at $12.00M in AI/DePIN, source: CoinMarketCap. This distribution concentrates inflows across centralized exchanges, PoR infrastructure, MPC wallet security, real-world assets and stablecoins, and AI/DePIN verticals that traders can track for sector momentum, source: CoinMarketCap.

According to @gensynai, the team shared a deeper look at Verde, the verification system that powers its trustless machine learning execution.

According to @gensynai, the Gensyn testnet has recorded 40,535,515 transactions, 128,293 users, a 21,000-node RL Swarm, and 27,835 models trained via BlockAssist; source: gensyn (@gensynai) on X, Aug 23, 2025. Based on these figures, average transactions per reported user are roughly 316 (40,535,515 divided by 128,293), a usage intensity that traders can track as an on-chain adoption proxy for decentralized AI compute; source: calculation using data from gensyn (@gensynai) on X, Aug 23, 2025. The scale of nodes and completed model trainings indicates available compute supply and workload throughput that can inform positioning across AI-DePIN narratives; source: data from gensyn (@gensynai) on X, Aug 23, 2025.
