The cycle peaked in 2025, when projects raised $8.21B across 307 funding rounds, marking both the highest capital inflow and the most active fundraising year of the current cycle.
Another notable trend is the growing share of Strategic funding, which now accounts for the majority of late-stage capital raised.
Investors appear to be prioritizing projects with proven traction, clear revenue models, and stronger ecosystem positioning rather than pursuing broad market exposure.
