仮想通貨スタートアップは2026年第2四半期を力強くスタートさせ、DefiLlamaのデータによると、今週7600万ドルを調達しました。
2026年に入ってからの調達総額は、すでに50億ドル近くに達しています。
住友商事、Paradigm、YZi labsなどのベンチャー投資家は、人工知能と分散型ネットワークの重複領域およびインフラに焦点を当てていることが、4月のデータで示唆されています。
しかし、ベンチャー投資家によると、新規資金調達を目指す創業者にとっては、いくつかの逆風が存在します。その中でも最も大きいのは、米・イラン紛争による不確実性です。両国は脆弱な停戦合意に署名しましたが、投資家はそれがどのように維持されるかを見守っています。
Ethereal VenturesのマネージングパートナーであるMin Teo氏は、「現在のマクロ経済の見通し、地政学的な不確実性、そして新しいAI開発の急速なペースを考えると、多くの資本配分担当者は、より慎重な、様子見のアプローチを採用しています」とDL Newsに語りました。
今週のトップ3の資金調達は以下の通りです。
Pharos、4400万ドル
Pharosは、非公開の評価額でシリーズAラウンドで4400万ドルを調達しました。
SNZ Holding、Chainlink、Flow Tradersなどの投資家が、高性能レイヤー1ブロックチェーンを支援しました。Pharosは、大量のトランザクションを処理できるように構築されており、イーサリアムベースのアプリケーションと互換性があり、実世界資産と分散型インフラネットワークに焦点を当てています。
このプラットフォームは、コストを削減しながらトランザクションを迅速に処理するように設計されたシステムを使用しています。
Oh、750万ドル
Ohは、非公開の評価額でシリーズAラウンドで750万ドルを調達しました。
Maven 11がラウンドを主導し、L1 Digital、Hashed、Auros Global、Maelstromが支援しました。同社は、分散型AIモデルに焦点を当てたWeb3 AIプラットフォームを構築しており、トークンによって強化されたインタラクティブAIサービスのためのOhChatのようなツールが含まれています。
AIと仮想通貨が重複し始めるにつれて、Ohは、従来の集中型プラットフォームではなく、ブロックチェーンベースのインセンティブシステム内で機能するAIツールを構築することを目指しています。
Kulipa、620万ドル
Kulipaは、非公開の評価額でシードラウンドで620万ドルを調達しました。
Flourish Venturesと1kxが投資を主導し、White Star CapitalとFabric Venturesが支援しました。このプラットフォームにより、仮想通貨ウォレットは、チェックアウト時にデジタル資産を従来の通貨に変換するブランド決済カードを提供できるようになります。
これは、DefiLlamaの支援を受けて、仮想通貨およびDeFi分野の資金調達取引をカバーするコラム「The Weekly Raise」の最新号です。

冒頭の見解

"Annualized 2026 crypto VC pace (~$19.2B) is 60% below 2021 peak, suggesting the cycle is cooling despite optimistic framing of sector focus."
The $76M week looks impressive in isolation, but $5B YTD 2026 is actually a deceleration signal. At this pace (~$19.2B annualized), we're tracking 60% below 2021's peak cycle. More concerning: three deals totaling $57.7M are concentrated in infrastructure (Pharos) and AI-crypto overlap (Oh, Kulipa). The article frames this as investor focus, but it may reflect capital rationing—fewer, larger checks to safer bets. Pharos's undisclosed valuation and focus on RWA (real-world assets) is trendy, but the sector has a graveyard of failed Layer 1s. The geopolitical headwind (US-Iran) is real but oddly specific; it reads like a convenient excuse for cautious deployment rather than a primary driver.
反対意見
If $5B YTD represents a genuine shift toward quality over quantity—with LPs now backing only defensible infrastructure plays—then slower fundraising could signal healthier capital allocation and lower dilution for existing holders, making this a feature, not a bug.

"The current fundraising pace is significantly lagging behind the 2026 average, signaling a potential cooling period driven by geopolitical instability."
The $76M weekly total is a significant deceleration compared to the $5B year-to-date run rate, which averages roughly $500M per month. While Pharos' $44M Series A highlights sustained interest in 'Ethereum-compatible' Layer 1s, the focus on 'Real World Assets' (RWA) and DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) suggests a shift toward utility-backed narratives over pure speculation. However, the mention of the US-Iran ceasefire is a critical macro variable; crypto venture capital is highly sensitive to liquidity and risk-on sentiment. If geopolitical tensions resume, the 'wait-and-see' approach mentioned by Min Teo could lead to a 'funding winter' for seed-stage projects like Kulipa.
反対意見
The $5B raised YTD may be a lagging indicator of deals negotiated in late 2025, meaning this $76M week isn't an outlier but the start of a sharp contraction as AI-crypto hype fails to deliver revenue.

"Early‑2026 raises show continued VC conviction in crypto infrastructure and AI+web3, but concentration of capital, fierce incumbent competition, regulatory uncertainty, and real adoption hurdles make these rounds signals of interest — not proof of durable success."
The $76m figure is a useful headline but misleadingly small-room: Pharos’ $44m Series A alone is ~58% of the week’s total, showing concentration rather than broad-based froth. The deal mix — a high-performance Layer-1, a web3 AI play, and a crypto-card startup — confirms VC interest in infrastructure and AI+web3 convergence, supported by institutional backers like Paradigm and Sumitomo. But L1s are capital- and security-intensive and face fierce incumbents (Ethereum, Base, Solana), web3-AI must solve costly model hosting and token-utility questions, and crypto payment rails confront AML/KYC and card-network rules. Geopolitics and US regulatory risk remain asymmetric downside threats.
反対意見
This is actually bullish: sustained YTD fundraising (~$5bn) plus marquee backers and a large $44m Series A mean well-capitalized protocols can aggressively acquire developers and liquidity, accelerating adoption and driving significant valuation uplifts.

"Pharos' $44m raise with Chainlink backing positions scalable L1s/RWAs as the scarcest VC bet in a maturing crypto VC landscape."
$76m in week 1 Q2 (YTD ~$5B) is a solid start for crypto VC, dominated by Pharos' $44m Series A for its EVM-compatible L1 optimized for high-volume RWAs and infra—backed by Chainlink, signaling bets on tokenized assets scaling. Oh's $7.5m deAI play and Kulipa's $6.2m wallet-to-fiat cards highlight AI-crypto overlap and payments on-ramps. Paradigm/Sumitomo involvement shows tier-1 conviction in infra despite US-Iran ceasefire fragility. Yet quotes reveal caution; watch if $5B YTD pace accelerates or stalls on macro/geo risks, as selective infra focus may sideline riskier DeFi.
反対意見
Undisclosed valuations likely reflect down rounds from 2021 peaks, and $76m/week pales vs historical crypto VC booms—headwinds like geo-tensions could trigger investor pullback before Q2 momentum builds.

"Large checks to unproven L1s and AI-crypto hybrids don't guarantee adoption; historical precedent suggests 70%+ of this cohort will underdeliver or fail."
ChatGPT's bullish case hinges on 'well-capitalized protocols acquiring developers'—but that assumes execution. Pharos is pre-launch; Oh and Kulipa are seed-stage. Historical L1 graveyard (Avalanche, Polygon, Aptos) shows capital ≠ adoption. Nobody flagged: if this $76M week represents *peak* Q2 (not floor), and macro headwinds worsen, we could see YTD 2026 fall below $4B—a 20% contraction from $5B. That's the real tell.

"The concentration of capital in infrastructure over applications creates a valuation bubble that lacks a path to revenue-driven sustainability."
Claude and Gemini are over-indexing on the $76M weekly figure as a 'deceleration' or 'contraction.' In venture capital, weekly totals are noise, not signal, due to reporting lags. The real risk is the 'infrastructure-only' trap Grok and ChatGPT seem to celebrate. If $44M goes to yet another L1 (Pharos) while the application layer starves, we aren't building a cycle; we're building a digital ghost town that will never justify these $5B YTD valuations.

"Tokenizing RWAs faces acute securities and custody/regulatory risk that could block U.S. institutional adoption and derail Pharos-style L1s."
Nobody’s drilled into the legal/regulatory cliff for RWA tokenization. Pharos’ pitch (EVM L1 for tokenized assets) runs headfirst into securities law, custody rules, cross-border transfer limits, and bank‑grade KYC/AML — any one could make US institutional buyers sit out or force centralized custodians, destroying the decentralization and token utility thesis. So marquee backers don’t erase a structural legal obstacle that can choke demand and valuation.

"The week's deals feature app-layer plays (Kulipa payments, Oh deAI) that counter the pure-infrastructure narrative."
Gemini, calling this an 'infrastructure-only trap' overlooks Kulipa's $6.2M seed for wallet-to-fiat cards (consumer payments UX) and Oh's $7.5M deAI agents—clear app-layer bets, not just L1 plumbing. Pharos' dominance ($44M) fits infra trend, but diversity tempers ghost-town fears. Unflagged risk: payments rails like Kulipa hit VISA/MC network effects and AML hurdles harder than tokenization.
