Venture Capital Floods Back Into Crypto With $4.65B Q3 Surge
Cryptocurrency startups just recorded their strongest funding quarter since the FTX collapse. Venture capital investments surged to $4.65 billion in Q3 2025—a 290% quarter-over-quarter increase across 415 deals.
The rebound signals restored institutional confidence, with deal FLOW now approaching pre-downturn levels. Early-stage projects and large funding rounds drove momentum, though capital deployment still lags behind crypto's recent price rallies.
Alex Thorn of Galaxy Digital notes the resurgence reflects growing conviction in blockchain infrastructure plays. The figures nearly match Q1 2025's $4.8 billion tally, suggesting sustained appetite despite macroeconomic headwinds.
