Crypto Funding Surge Hits $5.36B in July
Crypto funding soared 88% in July to $5.36B, driven by AI and big treasury buys from public companies.
- July saw an 88% surge in crypto funding, hitting $5.36B.
- AI dominated VC sector allocations.
- Public firms increased BTC, SOL, ETH, and SUI holdings.
In July, the crypto industry saw a remarkable rebound in venture capital activity, with total funding reaching $5.36 billion—a sharp 88% increase compared to June. Interestingly, this surge came despite an 8% decline in the total number of deals, showing that the investments are becoming larger and more concentrated.
The strong momentum signals renewed confidence in the blockchain and digital asset space, especially as the broader market continues to stabilize. The growth is attributed to both promising startups and major corporate entries into the crypto ecosystem.
AI Projects Lead the Funding Boom
Artificial Intelligence (AI) was the standout category in sector allocations, capturing a major share of investor interest. The convergence of AI and blockchain is creating new opportunities in data management, decentralized decision-making, and predictive analytics—all attractive prospects for VC firms seeking scalable innovations.
Projects at the intersection of AI and crypto, such as decentralized machine learning platforms and smart contract automation tools, received significant backing. This trend suggests that AI’s role in shaping the next phase of crypto infrastructure is only getting stronger.
Public Companies Bet Big on Crypto Assets
Beyond the VC space, public companies also made bold moves in July. Firms like MicroStrategy (MSTR), Upexi, and MEI Pharma expanded their crypto treasuries with strategic purchases of Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL), Ethereum (ETH), Sui (SUI), and Litecoin (LTC).
These acquisitions highlight a growing trend of corporations diversifying their balance sheets with digital assets, treating them as both speculative investments and hedges against inflation. As regulatory clarity improves, more publicly traded firms may follow suit in integrating crypto into their financial strategies.
