Crypto Venture Capital Hits Record $3.48 Billion Weekly Inflow
Venture capital funding in the cryptocurrency sector surged to a historic $3.48 billion during the week of October 6-12, 2025, eclipsing the previous November 2024 peak of $3.16 billion. The influx was driven by institutional heavyweights including Pantera Capital and Hack VC, signaling deepening confidence in blockchain infrastructure and centralized finance solutions.
Twenty-seven projects secured investments across varying deal sizes, with seven rounds landing $3-10 million allocations and five deals ranging between $10-20 million. The capital distribution reflects a maturation of investment theses—utility-driven projects now command priority over speculative bets.
Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz joined the funding spree, underscoring a sector-wide pivot toward sustainable blockchain applications. This institutional stamp of approval arrives as regulated financial services increasingly intersect with decentralized protocols.
