High Society of Crypto: Lavish Investments That Would Make Even Lady Catherine Jealous

During the week of November 9th to the 15th, 2025, the most distinguished of investors generously bestowed a total of $122.35 million upon ten charming ventures in the crypto realm. Truly, one cannot help but marvel at such magnanimity, even if some might suggest it resembles an overly spirited dance of financiers rather than a prudent exchange of capital.

The most prominent contribution was a staggering $68 million offered by the noble Lighter, making it the belle of this financial ball.
Funds flowed into the arts of artificial intelligence gaming, majestic compute networks, and encrypted blockchain platforms-because who doesn’t enjoy a bit of espionage with their tea?
Ten projects managed to secure their share of the fortune, with modest rounds granted to Bluefin, Curvance, and their lesser compatriots-small startles in a sea of grandeur.

According to the delightful data, Lighter’s impressive $68 million was the highlight of this week’s funding soiree, set amidst derivatives platforms, gaming ventures, and infrastructure-truly, a portrait of contemporary ambition.

Permit me to introduce the noble projects and their deeds, as recorded by Cryptofundraising:

Lighter

Having amassed $68 million in what we might call an “unknown” round-how mysterious!
With a valuation of $1.50 billion, this venture is evidently quite the catch among the upper circles.
Backed by the venerable Founders Fund, Ribbit Capital, and Haun Ventures-an ensemble worthy of a Regency ball.

Kyuzo’s Friends

Surprising for a groundbreaking AI-driven Web3 social game, I dare say.
