One can see a significant drawdown in investment volumes from February to March, amounting to 61%. Subsequently, indicators confidently recovered: by 43% from March to April and by 79% from April to May. The total amount of investments in projects in the later stages increased by 868% &#8211; from $6.5 million in April to $62.9 million in May. The indicator for transactions in the early stages, by contrast, fell by 46%. Thus, it is possible that in the current environment, investors are focused on more mature companies, investments in which are perceived as safer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_1hwEKkB_38tIoal6fcdrt9\">\n<div class=\"_3-miAEojrCvx_4FQ8x3P-s\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/reddit.com\/r\/fintech\/comments\/gyh20f\/blockchain_and_covid_19\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/reddit.com\/r\/fintech\/comments\/gyh20f\/blockchain_and_covid_19\/<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>golubyev_sergiy<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>golubyev_sergiy<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/4127-logo-50.png\" alt=\"\">&nbsp; &nbsp; According to The Block, despite the pandemic, since the beginning of the year, 265 projects related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies have raised $ 1.47 billion.
