Crypto startups have already secured $22 billion in funding in 2025 as major investors like Robinhood and Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund intensify their bets on the sector. The surge reflects renewed confidence driven by strong market performance, expanding tokenization projects, and rapid growth in AI-crypto infrastructure startups. Seed and early-stage rounds are attracting the most activity, with venture firms competing to back exchanges, compliance tools, and decentralized finance platforms. Despite regulatory uncertainties, investors expect crypto adoption to accelerate globally, keeping capital flows strong through the year.
