The world of crypto is experiencing a renaissance. After a quiet start to the year, fundraising roared back to life, making the first half of 2025 one to remember. A combination of large private funding rounds and the strong return of token sales pushed the industry to a three-year high.
🔹 In June, 103 funding rounds raised a total of $4.49 billion.
🔹 Token sales remained consistently strong—thanks to Binance Wallet and PancakeSwap.
🔹 Venture capital shifted toward later-stage deals and proven projects.
From Slowdown to Surge: Crypto VC Roars Back
After a sluggish beginning to 2025, crypto fundraising gained massive momentum. March alone saw $5 billion in venture deals, and even the quieter months kept funding above the $1 billion mark.
By mid-year, the sector had clearly recovered. The model of fast token sales is slowly being replaced by private late-stage investments focused on long-term utility and sustainable growth.
Big Players, Bigger Numbers
Familiar names dominated the scene. Coinbase Ventures led nine deals, followed by Pantera Capital with six. Projects like Polymarket, Pump.fun, Kalshi, and EigenCloud attracted tens of millions in funding. World Liberty Fi also secured a $100 million injection from Aqua 1 Fund.
🔹 Only 15 deals took place in the U.S., but they generated over $1.79 billion.
🔹 Singapore-based projects raised another $1.09 billion.
🔹 In total, 70 rounds occurred at undisclosed international locations.
Tokens Are Booming Again
Token sales took center stage again—174 sales in June raised $4.79 billion, even outpacing venture capital rounds. Binance Wallet and PancakeSwap were the top launchpads, offering token deals with massive returns.
📈 Binance Wallet projects averaged 483% gains,
📈 PancakeSwap projects saw 228.5% returns.
Token sales became a lifeline for smaller and mid-sized projects. Airdrops and special campaigns replaced traditional ICOs, which now struggle to survive outside the major platforms due to liquidity risks.
Summary
The first half of 2025 has proven that crypto is far from dead. Investors are returning, innovation is surging, and decentralized finance is regaining momentum. If this trend continues, we could be on the edge of a new bull market that may even surpass the Web3 boom of 2021.
