Forwarded from CryptoRank Fundraising Digest
2025 Fundraising Was Higher Than 2023-2024 Combined
Even though 2025 saw far fewer deals than 2024 or early 2023, it still managed to outperform those two years combined, reaching almost $35B.
In prior years, you could often track where the market was heading by the frequency of venture deals across sectors.
Now the signal is different. There are fewer rounds in major narratives, but a smaller group of funds is writing bigger checks into category leaders.
This view is supported by examples like Kalshi and Polymarket, which lead the prediction markets narrative, raising $1B and $2B, respectively.
At the same time, attention is shifting to projects with real revenue and clear business execution, not complex tech with unclear monetization models.
With this in mind, going into 2026 the focus should stay on a smaller set of projects that lead their narratives on measurable metrics, backed by fewer but larger VC rounds.

Major Asset Class Performance in 2025
Gold continued the rally that began in 2023, signaling a potential macro shift in global finance. Central banks have remained active buyers, reinforcing gold’s role as a strategic reserve asset amid geopolitical and monetary uncertainty.
The U.S. stock market also delivered positive returns in 2025, driven primarily by the AI boom and policy support for domestically focused companies under the Trump administration. Strong earnings expectations and capital inflows into technology-related sectors underpinned equity market performance.
In contrast, Bitcoin and Ethereum ended 2025 in negative territory. This underperformance reflects a sharp change in market sentiment over the year: early 2025 was fueled by post-election euphoria following Trump’s presidential victory, while the latter part of the year was marked by growing uncertainty due to mixed signals both within the crypto sector and the broader macro environment.

Will Memecoins Come Back This Year?
Historically, a memecoin surge in crypto has been one of the short-term indicators of strong market conditions and higher risk tolerance among market participants.
At the very start of this year, crypto began to bounce, posting solid performance after a long downtrend and depressed sentiment. The same was true in summer 2024, when meme mania began.
This time, memes again followed the broader market and started to recover after repeated lows. The CryptoRank meme tag shows about 80% of coins in the green, and total market cap is up 35% in a week.
But are they really back?
Zooming out to the broader picture, overall memecoin performance is still around the June lows, even though many more coins have launched since then.
Still, attention is now concentrated on revenue-generating projects.
Ironically, gambling-related protocols are among the leaders, so memes likely won’t disappear entirely in the near future.
So it’s safe to say we’ll see countless meme pumps this year, but they’re unlikely to turn into long-term moves.

Bitcoin in 2025: From Speculative Cycles to Macro-Driven Volatility
In 2025 Bitcoin’s price action was much more fluctuative and macro-linked than in previous cycles, marking a departure from speculative momentum toward an asset influenced by institutional flows, regulatory milestones, and broader risk sentiment.
Bitcoin climbed to new all-time highs above $126K, driven by spot ETF inflows, strategic reserve narratives, and dovish rate expectations. However, it did not sustain that peak, pulling back into the $80K–$90K range by year-end.

How 2025 Shaped Ethereum Price
2025 was a pivotal year for Ethereum, shaped by both internal developments and broader macro events. The network saw two major protocol upgrades, alongside legislative initiatives that influenced the wider crypto landscape, where Ethereum remains the core infrastructure for DeFi.
In the short term, Ethereum’s price movements were largely driven by macroeconomic and regulatory factors. Technical upgrades primarily play a long-term role, strengthening Ethereum’s scalability, resilience, and the overall maturity of its ecosystem.

Perp volumes more than tripled in 2025
The sector shifted from a near-monopolistic setup dominated by Hyperliquid into a highly competitive field.
Mainly driven by liquidity rotation from memecoins, perps volume hit an ATH of $1.8T in October, retracing to $864M at the EOY.
Now, Lighter, Aster, and Hyperliquid is the leading trio with quite similar volumes. Meanwhile, past leaders, like Jupiter, dYdX, and GMX are currently behind in this race.
