The new cash flow of the 2024 uptrend has caused many startups with many new ideas to appear. Among them, many new Altcoin projects quickly received attention from funds and raised millions to tens of millions of dollars. And what's more interesting is that these projects have not yet launched Token/coins.
The following are BeInCrypto's notes on some such projects. Through that, we can know the investment trends of VCs. (order of mention has no implications)
1. Midas - Real World Asset sector - mobilized 8.75 million USD
Midas is a new project in the field of Tokenize of US Treasury bonds, similar to Ondo Finance. In the context of the topic Real World Asset (RWA) being of interest and the field of Tokenize of T-Bill being focused on by Blackrock to establish its own fund, Midas was "born late" but has just successfully raised 8.75 million USD from investors. VCs like Coinbase Venture, FrameWorks Venture, 6th Man Venture…
Midas' operating model. Source: Midas.appMidas' operating model is almost the same as other T-Bill Tokenize projects. Users deposit USDC and receive back ERC-20 mTBILL. Midas has secured each mTBILL Token to represent one share of BlackRock Treasury Bond (iShares $ Treasury Bond 0-1yr UCITS ETF). mTBILL holders can accumulate value from the interest earned on US Treasury bonds while enjoying the full benefits of the platform, services and DeFi strategies using the ERC-20 Token mTBILL.
Midas said that Blackrock is one of the main partners of the project.
2. Sophon – Modular Blockchain field – raised 10 million USD
All investors can know so far about Sophon is that it is a modular blockchain. Although the new Altcoin project has not announced any information about the founder, platform technology, tokenomics... but the project has announced the successful mobilization of up to 10 million USD.
The project's official X website only has 9 posts, and the project's official website only has the wallet connection function, and no other information. Early participants have nothing to do but connect the wallet first. It is unclear how attractive Sophon is but has attracted funds such as The Spartan Group, OKX Venture, Maven 11 Capital, Cooperative Venture, SevenX Venture, Paper Ventures.
Modular Blockchain is a new step in the development of blockchain technology and this concept is starting to gain more attention from mainstream investors in 2024. Modular Blockchain is not a niche but a concept that is being built by multiple projects, each of which can Vai as a specialized “module”.
For example, Data Availability has Celestia (TIA) , Rollup solutions have Dymension ... These are all new projects recently that help bring the concept of Modular Blockchain closer to users.
