Venture capital database Pitchbook predicts in its Enterprise Technology Outlook 2025 report that VC firms will double their investment in crypto next year, with investments exceeding $18 billion, nearly double the $9.9 billion invested in 2024.
Pitchbook analysts said that as full-stack VC firms return to the blockchain and crypto space, and major financial institutions join in, crypto-focused VC firms will be bolstered; although the $18 billion investment is “significantly less than the $24.7 billion in 2021 and $29.8 billion in 2022,” the expected involvement of major traditional financial institutions such as BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Goldman Sachs will further boost investor confidence in the crypto market.
