Coinbase Global Inc. said its venture- capital arm dramatically increased its investments last year, pouring money into nearly 150 deals that focused in large part on supporting Web3 projects and services.
About 90% of the capital Coinbase Ventures allocated since its inception four year ago was deployed last year, the largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange said in a blog. The company didn’t give a total amount. Web3 has been described as a decentralized environment built on crypto technology in which swarms of collaborators take back control of the internet from giant tech companies.
