Our take
Blockworks is a leading digital asset and financial media brand that delivers news and insights about digital assets to millions of investors around the globe. Its range of editorial content, newsletters, podcasts, and events consolidates all essential information in one place to provide the critical analysis and information investors need to make smarter decisions about digital assets. As the only crypto-native information source that speaks to traditional investors, Blockworks has situated itself within an invaluable niche in the industry.
Funding in crypto and Web3 companies has seen a bit of a plateau, with DeFi and NFT-related projects bringing in more investments – however, Blockworks' recent successful funding round has propelled the company to a valuation of $135 million. This funding has been used to expand its product offerings and research platform, including the launch of the new government tracking tool, GovHub. With this financial boost and the recent acquisition of The Breakdown, Blockworks is well set for continued accelerated growth.
