Report on global blockchain ecosystem by CV VC, PwC and Cointelegraph

From enterprise blockchain adoption to the rise of decentralized finance, it seems like the blockchain landscape is constantly evolving in different ways.

In order to highlight blockchain's current global impact, a Swiss blockchain investment firm, CV VC, is releasing a new report together with Big Four firm PricewaterhouseCoopers Switzerland and Cointelegraph.

Entitled "CV VC Global Report H1/2020," this report provides a detailed overview of companies applying blockchain technology across eight different sectors, including art, crypto banking, crypto exchanges, custody providers, market makers, platform and protocols, token issuance companies, and venture capital.

While a preview of the report discussing blockchain's impact in the art industry was released on July 21, the full paper was published on Sept. 14.

According to Reinbold, the CV VC Global Report consists of data taken from company sources, crypto exchanges, media reports and social media channels.

In order to highlight this, the CV VC Global Report includes an entire section on crypto banks and brokers.

Another important element in today's blockchain ecosystem is the platforms and protocols that are being actively developed.

This final section of the report contains insights from Olaf Hannemann, a co-founder and the chief investment officer of CV VC. Hannemann points out that changes were evident in venture capital markets, even before the COVID-19 pandemic, especially those focused on blockchain investments.

A recent PwC report shows that while global quarterly deal activity increases, funding and deals have declined in Q2 2020 by 13% and 9% year-over-year, respectively.

In relation to blockchain technology, one of the most interesting points mentioned is that general tech funds continue to grow in their exposure to blockchain technology.
