According to DeFi Report data, the total venture capital for blockchain startups in 2024 will reach 13.6 billion USD, accounting for 4.9% of the global annual venture capital total, significantly rebounding from 10.1 billion USD in 2023, but still far below the historical peak of 32.4 billion USD in 2021. PitchBook predicts significant growth in the crypto sector in 2025, expecting to attract over 18 billion USD in capital. Analysts from Galaxy Research also indicated that the surge in venture capital activity will be jointly driven by declining interest rates and clearer regulations in the crypto sector, which is expected to increase investor interest in venture capital opportunities.
