Chinese crypto journalist Colin Wu, known as WuBlockchain, published a report indicating a significant decrease in activity among venture crypto investors in April 2025. According to RootData, only 66 investment rounds were conducted, which is 63% less compared to the same period last year. The total investment volume amounted to $413 million, which is also the lowest figure since the end of 2020. This decline was unexpected after a surge in February, when investments reached $951 million due to projects in the stablecoin and DeFi sectors.
The main reasons for the decline in analytics are macroeconomic uncertainty and investor caution following volatility in the crypto market. Venture funds are most interested in blockchain infrastructure and payment solutions projects. Coinbase Ventures and HashKey Capital remain the leaders in activity. However, experts hope that a decrease in Fed rates may revive the market.
