“Samsung is placing bets across the blockchain ecosystem investing in companies focused on 15 different use cases, such as blockchain services, development platforms, NFT, and social networks. On the other hand, Alphabet and Blackrock are showcasing a completely different strategy by making concentrated bets on a smaller set of companies.” the report stated.
As reported by Bitcoin.com’, “United Overseas Bank, which invested in 7 companies is the next most active and is closely followed by two American financial services giants Citigroup (6) and Goldman Sachs (5).
“As shown by the analysis, the number of crypto or blockchain startups funded by Samsung, United Overseas Bank, Citigroup, and Goldman Sachs in the period under review is nearly half (31) of the total number of startups (65) that raised capital from the 40 top corporations.
“While the data on the exact amount invested by each corporation is unavailable, Blockdata’s analysis still gives an estimate of the amount that was invested by all the corporations.”
