“Europe is now the fastest-growing region for venture capital investment in Bitcoin. In its quarterly State of Bitcoin report, CoinDesk shows Bitcoin VC funding in Europe nearly doubled in Q2, to $30.9 million from $15.6 million in Q1. Investment in North America climbed 21% to $186.3 million. Asian funding fell 18% to $20.8 million. Within Europe, Netherlands-based Bitfury, a mining hardware developer, captured the greatest share, raising $20 million. That funding round alone made the Netherlands the second-largest recipient of VC funds in the world. European countries hold the top-5 positions for downloads per capita of Bitcoin’s core protocol.”
