CoinVoice has recently learned that, according to The Defiant, the venture capital database Pitchbook predicts in its 2025 Corporate Technology Outlook report that venture capital firms will double their investments in cryptocurrency next year, with investments exceeding $18 billion, nearly double the $9.9 billion invested in 2024.
Pitchbook analysts state that as comprehensive venture capital firms return to the blockchain and cryptocurrency space, alongside the participation of large financial institutions, venture capital firms focused on cryptocurrency will be strengthened; although the $18 billion investment amount is 'far below' the $24.7 billion in 2021 and $29.8 billion in 2022, the continued involvement of major traditional financial institutions such as BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Goldman Sachs is expected to enhance investor confidence in the cryptocurrency market; in addition to a vast customer base, these institutions also bring legitimacy to the cryptocurrency industry and have the potential to accelerate mainstream investors' acceptance of digital assets. They also bring expertise and long-standing relationships with regulators, making them 'effective intermediaries in creating a trust environment that cryptocurrency-native companies often find difficult to achieve while complying with regulations.'
