According to PANews, February 2025 witnessed a resurgence in crypto venture capital activities, with 98 projects securing a total of $951 million in public funding, marking a 14% increase from the previous month. However, data from RootData indicates that this represents a 35% decrease compared to February 2024. Stablecoins and payment sectors emerged as dominant categories, attracting significant institutional backing. Additionally, the decentralized finance (DeFi) and artificial intelligence (AI) sectors experienced notable growth in funding. In contrast, investments in Layer1/Layer2 blockchain projects and centralized finance (CeFi) remained subdued. The continuous flow of capital into stablecoins, payments, and decentralized financial infrastructure reflects growing institutional confidence in regulated and scalable crypto applications. As the regulatory landscape becomes clearer, venture capital-backed companies are expected to drive the next wave of cryptocurrency adoption.
