Across 13 recently dated Los Angeles blockchain/cryptocurrency rounds, the largest disclosed amount is Vatom’s $10M on 2024-02-15; all other disclosed rounds cluster at $9M or below, with several at $8M ($Nexity Network, 2025-01-21), $7M (Rypplzz, 2023-11-28), and $6M (FastLane, 2025-03-04). A smaller disclosed outlier appears at Waste Energy’s $750K on 2025-02-18, while the next-lowest disclosed figures are $3M (Jia 2026-05-21; Blubird 2025-06-03; Zora 2024-05-09). Timing is concentrated: 5 of 13 rounds land between January 2025 and March 2025 (Nexity Network 2025-01-21 at $8M; Waste Energy 2025-02-18 at $750K; Flashnet 2025-02-04 at $5M; FastLane 2025-03-04 at $6M; Blubird 2025-06-03 at $3M), and the full visible window spans 2023-11-27 through 2026-05-21, with the most recent being Jia on 2026-05-21. Stage labels are also uneven: 5 of 13 entries show “Series Unknown” (Blubird 2025-06-03, FastLane 2025-03-04, Waste Energy 2025-02-18, Zora 2024-05-09, plus one additional “Series Unknown” entry not disclosed in amount), while 2 of 13 entries are “undisclosed” amounts (Record 2024-07-01; FlickPlay 2023-11-27).

Frequently asked

What stands out on round size in Los Angeles blockchain/crypto, and is there a clear leader among disclosed amounts?

Vatom’s $10M (2024-02-15) is the top disclosed amount in the 13-row set; the next-highest disclosed figures are $9M (Rome Protocol, 2024-07-09) and $8M (Nexity Network, 2025-01-21). On the low end, Waste Energy’s $750K (2025-02-18) is the smallest disclosed amount shown.

Are there clusters in the most recent funding activity dates within this list?

Yes. Between 2025-01-21 (Nexity Network) and 2025-03-04 (FastLane), four rounds are listed in quick succession: $8M (Nexity Network, 2025-01-21), $5M (Flashnet, 2025-02-04), $750K (Waste Energy, 2025-02-18), and $6M (FastLane, 2025-03-04). A second cluster appears around mid-2024 with Rome Protocol ($9M, 2024-07-09) and Record (2024-07-01, undisclosed).

Which stage labels dominate, and how often are amounts or stages unspecified?

“Series Unknown” appears on 5 of 13 rows (including Blubird at $3M on 2025-06-03 and FastLane at $6M on 2025-03-04). Amounts are “undisclosed” on 2 of 13 rows (Record on 2024-07-01 and FlickPlay on 2023-11-27), limiting how size comparisons can be made for those entries.

Are there outliers worth focusing on beyond the size extremes?

Record (2024-07-01) and FlickPlay (2023-11-27) are outliers because both have undisclosed amounts, making them hard to benchmark against the rest. Separately, the $750K round for Waste Energy (2025-02-18) sits far below most other disclosed amounts, which otherwise range from $3M to $10M (e.g., Jia $3M on 2026-05-21; Vatom $10M on 2024-02-15).

How does the stage mix look at the extremes of the timeline shown?

The newest dated entry is Jia on 2026-05-21 at $3M with stage “Seed,” while the oldest dated entry is FlickPlay on 2023-11-27 with a “Series Unknown” label and an undisclosed amount. In the middle of the window, “Seed” is common (e.g., Nexity Network 2025-01-21 at $8M; Rome Protocol 2024-07-09 at $9M; Vatom is “Series B” at $10M on 2024-02-15), suggesting seed-heavy activity interleaved with later-stage at the high end.
