He projected that many non-brand-name firms, and even some established names, will be functionally closed by 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Crypto VC funds vs. startups<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Galaxy Research data shows that while startup fundraising is recovering, venture capital funds are raising less money to invest in crypto projects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, the number of new crypto VC funds peaked in 2022 at more than 300 but has steadily declined yearly. Only around 50 new funds were launched in 2024, and just a fraction of that number entered the market in the first quarter of 2025.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of repeat investors has also shrunk. DefiLlama<\/span> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/defillama.com\/raises\/investors\">data<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows that of all active funds in the past 180 days, only 67 made more than one investment, which is less than half.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dunleavy cited several causes, including the absence of distributions to paid-in capital (DPI), a lack of headline investment wins to renew attention from capital allocators, and slower inflows from ultra- and high-net-worth individuals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He added that institutional investors remain hesitant despite recent regulatory progress across jurisdictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Contraction in venture capital<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fundraising side does not mirror the contraction seen with venture firms. The increase in the first-quarter fundraising volumes suggests that interest in crypto startups is growing. However, capital flows from a narrower base of repeat participants and larger allocators.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, venture activity is becoming more concentrated. Capital is no longer widely distributed across many generalist funds but is instead focused within a smaller group of active players with sufficient dry powder and differentiated theses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dunleavy believes this new landscape is likely a massive positive development for the industry, as venture capital funds are much sharper with whom they deploy capital, resulting in better companies thriving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The crypto fundraising landscape is entering a bifurcated phase. While startups continue to raise money faster than last year, crypto VC funds struggle to justify their relevance, raise new capital, and remain active in a leaner, more disciplined market.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto venture capital (VC) firms are experiencing operational strain and consolidation, even as project-level fundraising gains
