According to BlockBeats news on August 1, according to Bloomberg, as the reputation of cryptocurrencies in the U.S. public opinion arena is gradually "cautiously repaired", a wave of blockchain craze funded by venture capital firms is quietly emerging on college campuses.

A group of digital asset-focused investors – including institutions such as Collab+Currency, Consensys Mesh, Artemis, and Hydra Ventures – have collectively raised approximately 600 ETH. The funding flowed to student-led blockchain societies from Michigan to Oregon through an initiative called Dorm DAO.

The project's combination of financial investment, research budget, and internship opportunities reflects the crypto industry's repositioning of its goals. This field, once considered a "quick money game" and not taken seriously by the mainstream, is now moving closer to "orthodox finance" — a resurgence of regulatory-compliant investment products and Wall Street's cautious return has played a role. But supporters are also looking at another key testing ground: university campuses, where they hope to nurture a new generation of blockchain talent, as well as a more disciplined and longer-term vision of digital finance.
