Crypto Venture Funding Remains Concentrated In 2025
Venture capital funding in the cryptocurrency sector remained muted in November 2025, with RootData reporting only 57 disclosed rounds and large headline raises (Revolut $1 billion, Kraken $800 million) dominating activity. Galaxy Digital noted Q3 total funding of $4.65 billion but declining deal counts, while three highlighted rounds included Ostium ($24M), Axis ($5M) and PoobahAI ($2M); observers warn selective funding could constrain early-stage innovation.
