The 2025 Power Players
Coinbase Ventures: Reclaimed its throne as the most active investor, leading the pack with over 70 deals, primarily focusing on infrastructure and DeFi.
Paradigm: Solidified its reputation for "blockbuster" rounds, notably leading the $1 billion Series E for prediction market Kalshi.
MGX (Abu Dhabi): Made history by leading a landmark $2 billion strategic investment in Binance, marking the largest single raise in crypto history.
Traditional Giants: 2025 saw the "Great Convergence," with BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, and Goldman Sachs participating in major rounds for tokenization and custody startups.
Animoca Brands: Remained the dominant force in the Web3 and GameFi sectors, completing over 40 investments.
The trend is clear: capital is flowing into regulated, scalable infrastructure as the line between TradFi and Crypto continues to blur.
