Venture Capital Floods Back Into Crypto With Record Fundraising Week
Crypto venture funding roared back to life this week, hitting a record $3.48 billion in total capital raised from 27 projects and companies, according to data from Cryptorank. The period between October 6 and 12 marks the highest weekly fundraising volume ever recorded in the industry.
The investment boom was led by Pantera Capital, which participated in four rounds, including two as lead investor, followed by Hack VC and Vaneck, which led two each. Other active players included Coinbase Ventures, Borderless Capital, X Ventures, and Road Capital, with two deals each this month.
DeFi and blockchain infrastructure projects dominated funding activity, with centralized finance (CeFi) ventures following closely behind. The data also shows that mid-sized raises remain the most common, with 268 rounds falling between $3–10 million, while $1–3 million and $10–20 million brackets accounted for 159 and 114 rounds, respectively.
Geographically, the United States continues to lead the crypto funding landscape, attracting $9.27 billion year-to-date. Malta and Singapore followed with $2 billion and $1.13 billion, respectively.
The record-breaking week underscores renewed investor confidence in the digital asset market, as capital flows increasingly target DeFi protocols, layer one (L1) infrastructure, and tokenized real-world asset ( RWA) platforms, sectors driving the next wave of crypto innovation.
