Global crypto VC investment hits lowest level in 2 years

Cryptocurrency venture capital investment fell to $659 million in April, its lowest level since July 2024. The decline is attributed to a broader slowdown in market trading activity, which has prompted investors to scale back funding for crypto startups and early-stage firms. According to data from Cryptorank, the $659 million was raised across 63 funding rounds. This represents a 74% drop from March, which saw $2.6 billion raised in 84 rounds. The total year-to-date investment for 2026 now stands at $5.64 billion.
