According to PANews, the second quarter of 2025 witnessed a significant surge in funding within the cryptocurrency sector, surpassing $10 billion, marking the highest level in three years. This growth is attributed to the new U.S. administration's implementation of more favorable crypto policies, which have invigorated market activity.
The quarter saw an increase in late-stage financing, with frequent occurrences of IPOs and mergers and acquisitions, indicating the industry's progression towards maturity. Notable projects such as Securitize, Kalshi, World, and World Liberty Financial secured substantial funding.
Circle's successful public listing resulted in its stock price increasing more than fivefold, symbolizing further integration between the crypto industry and traditional finance. Analysts suggest that as regulatory frameworks continue to improve, emerging sectors like Real World Assets (RWA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), along with traditional financial institutions, are accelerating their entry into the market. This trend is expected to maintain capital interest in high-quality projects.
