Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that three blockchain projects focused on stablecoins and tokenization—Arc, Canton, and Tempo—have collectively raised over $1 billion, highlighting growing institutional interest in privacy-focused crypto infrastructure. Specifically, Circle (CRCL) recently raised $222 million for Arc at a $3 billion valuation; Canton, under Digital Asset, is seeking $300 million in funding at a $2 billion valuation; and Tempo, backed by Stripe and Paradigm, previously raised $500 million at a $5 billion valuation. He believes this wave of funding reflects clearer U.S. regulations, increasing demand for privacy in transactions, and intensified competition among enterprise-backed crypto networks.
