加密行业项目出清加快后,投资人开始更重视产品能否留住用户、能否覆盖运营成本。外媒称,Truth Ventures 首席执行官 Varun Datta 认为,这类检验适合成熟公司,但不应直接套用到种子轮团队。

资金继续流向成熟公司

Galaxy Research 数据显示,2026 年第一季度,加密与区块链领域共完成 355 笔融资,金额约 40 亿美元。与前一季度相比,融资额下降 50%,交易数量下降 16%。

Galaxy 认为,降幅差异主要来自大额后期融资减少。虽然种子轮和早期项目仍在获得支持,但后期公司拿走了 57% 的资金,年轻公司仅占 43%。

按交易数量看,pre-seed 轮占全部已完成交易的 19%,后期融资占比升至四分之一。Galaxy 据此判断,加密行业部分赛道正在走向成熟,但新项目并未完全失去融资机会。

投资标准不应前置

Datta 表示,种子轮项目真正该看的不是经常性收入,而是创始人是否真正理解要解决的问题,以及产品是否能为用户提供明确价值。

他认为,很多加密项目失败,并不意味着早期投资逻辑失效,而是因为一些团队把代币投机当成商业模式,没能建立真正可持续的产品路径。

在他看来,投资人评估早期项目时,更应关注两个问题:产品能否在资金耗尽前获得用户,以及团队是否已经找到从初始产品走向自我维持业务的路径。

募资环境仍然偏紧

Galaxy 还指出,2026 年第一季度,加密风投机构仅新募得约 11 亿美元,共涉及 8 只新基金,数量为 2020 年第三季度以来最低。

研究机构称,AI 公司、现货加密 ETF 产品以及数字资产财库公司,正在与加密风投基金争夺机构配置。如果这一节奏持续全年,2026 年加密风投募资规模可能约为 40 亿美元,低于 2025 年的 87.5 亿美元。

从赛道分布看,交易、交易所、投资和借贷公司在一季度合计吸引约 26 亿美元,接近当季全部加密风投资金的五分之三。基础设施公司完成 56 笔交易,Web3、NFT、DAO、元宇宙和游戏项目合计 39 笔,支付与奖励类公司为 33 笔。

美国公司拿走七成资金

Galaxy 数据显示,美国总部公司获得了一季度 70.2% 的加密风投资金,完成交易数占比为 43.5%。英国和新加坡分别占 5.3% 和 4.5%。

文章认为,在资金高度集中于美国市场的背景下,种子轮项目该用什么标准筛选,将更直接影响美国加密创业者获得机构支持的机会。Datta 则表示,早期投资仍应优先寻找围绕明确问题构建产品、并朝可持续模式推进的 Web3 与 AI 团队。

The Sandbox Suspends Cross-Chain Bridge Between Base and BNB Chain: Unsecured SAND Why Can't We Just Look at the Coin Minting Volume?
On August 22, The Sandbox stated that a vulnerability was discovered in its SAND cross-chain bridge on Base and BNB Smart Chain. Attackers were able to mint tokens without the corresponding Ethereum SAND locking support. The team subsequently suspended the related cross-chain functionality and claimed that the vulnerability had been contained. The core issue of this incident is not merely the simple "minting" of additional tokens, but rather the disruption of the most fundamental accounting relationships between cross-chain assets: the mapped tokens on the target chain should correspond one-to-one with the assets locked or destroyed on the source chain; once unsecured minting occurs, the market can no longer assume equivalence between SAND on different chains.

OpenAI Funds 14 Studies on the "Intelligent Era": Why Can't AI Policy Experiments Be Answered Only by Model Companies?
On August 17, OpenAI announced funding for 14 projects led by independent organizations, with themes focusing on economic opportunities and social resilience, continuing the discussions on "industrial policies in the intelligent era" initiated in April of this year. The selected projects cover areas such as labor force, education, local governance, social security, and technology diffusion. Compared to a single product launch, this arrangement is more worth observing from a methodological perspective: when AI affects not only software functionality but also employment structures, skill investments, and public institutions, it becomes difficult to determine who will bear the costs, how the benefits will be distributed, and which policies are effective in different regions, relying solely on internal research within model companies.
