Los Angeles has logged at least 12 blockchain and cryptocurrency funding rounds spanning late 2023 through mid-2025, with deal activity concentrating heavily in seed and early-stage rounds. Vatom's $10M Series B in February 2024 stands as the largest disclosed round in this set, followed by Rome Protocol's $9M seed in July 2024 and Nexity Network's $8M seed in January 2025. Five of the twelve rounds are classified as Seed, several in the $4M–$9M range, pointing to an early-stage-heavy pipeline.
Momentum into 2025 is visible across five rounds: Nexity Network ($8M, January), Flashnet ($5M seed, February), Waste Energy ($750K, February), FastLane ($6M, March), and Blubird ($3M, June). Two rounds—Record (Angel, July 2024) and FlickPlay (Series Unknown, November 2023)—closed with undisclosed amounts, while mid-2024 saw a cluster of three rounds in July alone: Rome Protocol, Nirvana Labs, and Record.

Frequently asked
What are the largest disclosed rounds among LA blockchain startups in this data?
Vatom leads at $10M (Series B, February 2024), followed by Rome Protocol at $9M (Seed, July 2024) and Nexity Network at $8M (Seed, January 2025). Rypplzz ($7M Seed, November 2023) and FastLane ($6M Series Unknown, March 2025) round out the top five by disclosed amount.
Which funding stages dominate this LA blockchain cohort?
Seed rounds account for five of the twelve entries—Flashnet, Nexity Network, Nirvana Labs, Rome Protocol, and Rypplzz. Five more carry a Series Unknown classification, one is Angel (Record), and one is Series B (Vatom), making the dataset predominantly early-stage with only a single later-stage data point.
How much funding activity happened in 2025 specifically?
Five of the twelve rounds closed in 2025 across a six-month window from January through June. The four with disclosed amounts—Nexity Network ($8M), Flashnet ($5M), FastLane ($6M), and Blubird ($3M), plus Waste Energy ($750K)—total approximately $22.75M combined.
Were there any LA blockchain rounds that didn't disclose a raise amount?
Two companies kept their figures undisclosed: Record, which closed an Angel round in July 2024, and FlickPlay, which closed a Series Unknown round in November 2023. Both are among the older entries in the dataset.
Is there any late-stage or growth-stage blockchain deal activity visible in Los Angeles?
Vatom's $10M Series B in February 2024 is the only clearly late-stage round in this set. The remaining eleven entries are Seed, Angel, or unclassified early-stage rounds, suggesting the LA blockchain companies represented here are largely pre-Series A.
Was there a particular period when LA blockchain funding clustered most densely?
July 2024 saw the highest single-month concentration with three rounds closing: Rome Protocol ($9M Seed, July 9), Nirvana Labs ($4M Seed, July 19), and Record (Angel, undisclosed, July 1). Early 2025—January through March—also produced three disclosed rounds totaling $19M.
