Krypto-VC-Finanzierung explodiert: 2,19 Milliarden Dollar im September, satte 8 Milliarden im Q3 dank Mega-Deals
Riesendeals katapultieren Venture-Capital-Investitionen in Kryptoprojekte auf neue Höhen
Das dritte Quartal 2025 entwickelt sich zum Rekordquartal für Krypto-Investments
Während traditionelle Finanzinvestoren noch über Regulierung jammern, pumpen VC-Fonds Milliarden in die Zukunft des Geldes. Allein im September flossen 2,19 Milliarden Dollar in Kryptounternehmen - angetrieben durch mehrere Mega-Deals, die das Gesamtvolumen für Q3 auf stolze 8 Milliarden Dollar trieben.
Die großen Player positionieren sich
Institutionelles Kapital strömt in den Sektor, als gäbe es kein Morgen. Während die alten Finanzhäuser noch ihre Due-Diligence-Prozesse durchlaufen, schlagen wendige Krypto-VCs zu und sichern sich die vielversprechendsten Projekte.
Das Vertrauen ist zurück - und wie
Nach dem Winter kommt der Frühling: Die Investmentsummen übertreffen selbst die bullischsten Erwartungen und signalisieren ein neues Reifegrad-Stadium für die gesamte Branche.
Typisch Finance-Welt: Erst jahrelang warnen, dann panisch einsteigen wenn die Züge schon abgefahren sind. Aber hey, besser spät als nie für die traditionellen Geldhäuser, die jetzt endlich den Krypto-Zug erwischen wollen.

The USA was the leading region for the past month, with over $700M in deals. Other VC rounds were international, mostly focusing on Southeast Asia and Europe. VC funds still focused on AI projects as the most promising venue, in addition to infrastructure and on-chain tools.
VC funding points to market recovery
VC funding activity serves as a proxy for general market recovery. September’s levels were slightly higher than August, with $2B in deals.
For the past month, the end result may include additional deals closed a few days later. The month also closed higher thanks to Kraken’s self-led round for $500M. The Helius Medical raise for a SOL treasury was also counted toward VC funding rounds. Other prominent rounds included Forward Capital and Inversion Capital for $26.5M.
Some of the latest rounds did not have a retail component and were mostly handled by funds, with no public sale component. For retail opportunities, traders turned to the new wave of IDOs.
IDO funding expansion raised value
Public funding remained robust, with 155 registered sales and raises. For September, IDO funds raised $6.77B, the second-best month for the year to date.
The robust token sale trend hinges on platforms, which aggregate already interested users. For September, Ethereum saw 20 IDOs, with 26 raises on BNB Smart Chain, 18 on Base, and only four on Solana.
IDO sales make up over 77% of all raises, with a limited number of high-profile ICOs. The model has displaced VC funding plus public presale, as retail investors seek out projects specifically focusing on a fair public sale.
Binance Wallet campaigns had the biggest returns to date, due to the token curation and targeted liquidity events. The Gate Launchpad and Mexc were in the second and third place, with returns of over 130%.
The Gate launchpad remained the most diverse one, hosting the largest number of projects from different sectors.
