By 2025, investment institutions have already invested nearly $25 billion in crypto companies, far exceeding market expectations.

Jinse Finance reported, citing DL News, that investment institutions have already injected nearly $25 billion into crypto companies in 2025, representing an increase of more than 150% compared to last year and far exceeding market expectations. This year, leading institutions participating in deals include tech-focused Paradigm and Sequoia Capital, as well as Wall Street giants BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs. According to DefiLlama data, the hottest sectors are: centralized exchanges (raising $4.4 billion), prediction markets (raising $3.2 billion), and DeFi platforms (raising $2.9 billion). Jordan Knecht, Head of Institutional Strategy at blockchain services company GlobalStake, pointed out that projects attracting capital today must meet regulatory transparency, operational resilience, and be able to interface with traditional financial institutions and their standards. In a volatile market, investors prefer to build compliance-first, sustainable business models to lay a long-term foundation for the asset class.
