$RPL 🚀 The number of venture capital deals in cryptocurrencies has reached its lowest level in 2025—but merger and acquisition deals rise to $2.9 billion! 🚀

🔹 Number of deals: Only 62 rounds were closed in May—the lowest number in a month since January 2021—highlighting a decline in investor appetite amid "summer illiquidity" and headwinds.

🔹 Capital raised: Those 62 deals raised $909 million, making May the second month in terms of funding value, after $2.89 billion across 78 rounds in March.

🔹 Increase in mergers and acquisitions: While venture capital deals have slowed, the volume of mergers and acquisitions deals has increased—Coinbase acquired Deribit for $2.9 billion on May 8, marking the largest acquisition in the cryptocurrency space in 2025 so far.

🔹 Macroeconomic factors: Rising prices, volatile bonds, and tariff discussions have cooled venture capital in startups but have fueled direct and strategic ties between major players.
