Crypto fundraising reaches three-year peak in 2025 investment surge
9th July 2025 – (New York) 2025 has seen a significant upsurge in cryptocurrency investments, with June emerging as a standout month amassing approximately $5.14 billion in funds. This surge marks the strongest fundraising month since January 2022, showcasing a renewed confidence in digital assets and blockchain technology among institutional investors amidst a more stable market and clearer regulatory landscape.
The second quarter of 2025 saw the cryptocurrency venture capital market achieving remarkable results, with companies raising a total of $10.03 billion. This notable success marks a substantial reversal from the subdued investment climate that characterised the industry throughout 2023 and the first half of 2024.
Key to the quarter’s success were substantial investments from industry players. Strive Funds, founded by entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy in May, secured a significant $750 million in funding. This fund focuses on Bitcoin-related investment strategies tailored to provide institutional clients with cryptocurrency exposure and alpha returns. Following closely behind, TwentyOneCapital raised $585 million in April, while Securitize secured a $400 million funding round.
Coinbase Ventures emerged as a prominent contributor to deal activity, participating in 25 transactions over the quarter, with a peak momentum in June when they completed 10 investments. Other active players such as Animoca Brands, Andreessen Horowitz, and Pantera Capital also played crucial roles in driving deal flow and bolstering investment in the sector.
Investor attention remained concentrated on blockchain infrastructure and decentralised finance protocols, with moderate interest in centralised finance, NFTs, and gaming finance. Notably, investments in Memecoins remained relatively subdued despite market hype surrounding these speculative assets.
Seed-stage deals dominated the funding landscape, accounting for 19.43% of total tracked deals, followed by strategic rounds at 14.23%. This distribution indicates a focus on early-stage investments and a keen interest in established businesses with proven success records. Additionally, Galaxy Digital successfully closed its inaugural external venture fund, surpassing the initial $150 million target to raise $175 million. The fund will concentrate on high-growth sectors like stablecoins, tokenisation, and payment infrastructure development.
