According to CoinDesk, a research report from JPMorgan Chase predicts that venture capital (VC) funding for cryptocurrency will rise this year due to regulatory clarity and more crypto-friendly policies during the tenure of U.S. President Donald Trump. However, due to intensified competition among large financial institutions, high interest rates, and the emergence of ETF products, funding levels may not reach previous highs.
The report points out that new cryptocurrency projects are avoiding selling large amounts of tokens to venture capital firms and are increasingly turning towards community-driven platforms for fundraising.
