Quick Take

  • $1.47 billion has been raised across 265 blockchain deals during the coronavirus pandemic era
  • An 868% increase in later-stage deals in May, coinciding with a 46% decline in early-stage, suggests that investors pulled back on early-stage deals with a preferred preference for more established later-stage firms instead
  • The economic environment has been ripe for M&A activity, with M&A making up 18% of all investment deals in May
