VC Fancy Bit-Currency subdivision field

VC Capital has been the main driver of the bitcoin industry in the past two years--such as Marc Andreessen, Tim Draper, who has invested millions of of billions of dollars in the pursuit of economic rewards and in the rectification of this misunderstood technology and its rightful place. However, the VC data = the same effective assessment tool--to examine which bitcoin field is "the most fire".

Recently, Tom Sharkey analysis of the VC data on the CoinDesk-the companies that have been investigated from VC, angels, or both, get at least 250,000 dollars in financing--they cover the six major segments of the Bitcoin industry: trading platforms, wallets, payment processing, financial services, mining, and " Generic class ", the following is the summary of the analysis results:

All right, pull the angle to the 6 major segments (The following format: Type + company +VC total investment):

General class = 6 = 62.7 million USD: Coinbase and Circle the land. It is worth mentioning, Korbit, Coinplug and other general-purpose companies often provide customers with diversified services-as well as exchange, wallet, payment processing business

Financial Services = 12 = 43.4 million USD: Bitgo, Chain, Ripple Labs three leading, "green teens" such as Vaurum and Tradeblock recently announced millions of dollars in investment news. Some companies in this area are focused on the infrastructure of the block chain, while others focus on the technical analysis of the bitcoin price

Trading platform = 14 = 43.1 million USD: 14 companies get more than 250,000 dollars in investment. This is the most aggregated bitcoin user, but VC's investment on it is a little bit ugly, averaging nearly 3.1 million dollars per company

Wallet = 4 = 43.1 million USD: The company has the fewest number of companies, probably because most GM companies have built-in wallets. The window focus is on the wallet itself. The concern is Xapo, which is now getting 40 million dollars, far beyond the industry's other companies

Payment processing = 5 = 37.7 million USD: BitPay recently financed a round of $30 million trillion and is also one of Bitcoin's biggest investments-most of the money is spent on payment processing-and big business guys like Richard Branson have invested a lot of money

Mining = 5 = 34 million U.S. dollars: the whole industry is called bread + cream, but a bit ironic, mining and get VC how much favor. It is worth mentioning is KnCMiner, it announced on September 4 A round of financing 14 million dollars--Swedish VC company Creandum
