Crypto VC funding grew 28% in 2024, but remains below 2021-2022 peak levels.
VCs are focusing on DeFi, stablecoins, and proven markets for 2025 growth.
Caution remains, with VCs prioritizing regulatory clarity and real-world applications.
As the crypto market enters 2025, venture capital (VC) firms are gearing up to invest in blockchain and DeFi. Despite a strong recovery in 2024, crypto VC funding remains below its peak.
However, according to The Block, VCs are optimistic about growth in the coming year. They cite shifting regulations, increasing institutional investments, and continued technological advancements as key drivers.
2024 Funding Overview and 2025 Outlook
In 2024, crypto venture investments rose by 28% to $13.7 billion. While this shows growth from 2023, it’s still lower than the levels seen in 2021-2022.
Analysts predict continued growth in crypto funding by 2025. They point to factors like evolving U.S. regulations, rising institutional engagement, and the potential for increased token values. However, Rob Hadick of Dragonfly cautions that the sector is unlikely to see the funding amounts of 2021-2022 again soon.
