According to Bloomberg, as the reputation of cryptocurrencies gradually improves in the American public discourse, a wave of blockchain frenzy funded by venture capital firms is quietly emerging on college campuses.
A group of investors focused on digital assets - including Collab+Currency, Consensys Mesh, Artemis, and Hydra Ventures - have collectively raised about 600 ETH. This funding, through an initiative called Dorm DAO, is flowing to student-led blockchain clubs from Michigan to Oregon.
The project combines funding, research budgets, and internship opportunities, reflecting the cryptocurrency industry's repositioning of its goals. Once seen as a get-rich-quick game and not taken seriously by the mainstream, the field is now moving closer to traditional finance - regulatory compliant investment products and Wall Street's cautious return are driving forces. But supporters are also looking to another key testing ground: college campuses, where they hope to nurture a new generation of blockchain talent and a more self-regulated, long-term digital financial vision.
