Crypto experts are known to say that institutional investments play a vital role in maintaining a balance in the crypto market, especially amid low trading days.

In 2021 alone, crypto-related firms collectively raised more than $30 billion (roughly Rs. 2,27,617 crore) from venture capital firms, making it the highest collection so far. In 2018, the same number was $8 billion (roughly Rs. 60,704 crore).
