Europe's capital markets are facing a real squeeze. For the first time in over 10 years—since Euronext went public itself—IPO fundraising across the exchange dipped below $1 billion throughout 2025. That's a pretty stark sign of how sluggish things have gotten on the continent. The capital markets stagnation isn't just a number; it reflects broader hesitation from investors and companies alike when it comes to public offerings. Worth watching as a bellwether for where global sentiment stands on growth opportunities and risk appetite.

European capital markets are indeed struggling this time, with IPO financing falling below 1 billion? How cold does it have to be? Is there still a chance for Web3, bro? It seems traditional finance is retreating. With such a small amount of funding, investors are really scared. This state of the European market... Should we be optimistic about emerging tracks? That's why everyone is rushing to the chain; centralized finance is dead and dull.

Europe is really gone, IPO financing falls below a 10-year low, and the vitality of the capital market plummets...

European capital markets are indeed quite bleak this time. IPO financing falling below 1 billion is something I’ve never seen before. With financing so cold, it shows everyone is scared. Behind these numbers, it’s really that no one dares to gamble anymore... risk appetite is gone. I haven’t seen this kind of situation in over ten years; it’s not a good sign. The market has stalled. Where is all the money going?

European capital markets are really struggling this time, with IPO financing dropping below $1 billion... How bad does it have to be? Speaking of which, risk appetite is indeed changing, and we need to pay close attention. Why does it feel like the whole world is becoming cautious? No one dares to act anymore? The European market is frozen, and launching new projects is becoming increasingly difficult. This data looks outrageous, the first time in over a decade, we need to reflect and think it over.

European capital markets have fallen below 1 billion in financing for the first time in over ten years, honestly a bit disappointing.

European capital markets are really tough this time, IPO financing has fallen below $1 billion, how embarrassing... --- Risk appetite is plummeting, indicating everyone has become timid. Who still dares to go for financing? --- Behind these numbers is probably a collapse in market confidence... Should it rebound now? --- For the first time in over a decade, Europe is truly in trouble. How optimistic can global market sentiment be? --- Retail investors should be more cautious. With the current environment, who still dares to gamble? --- Europe is warning the world. Stay calm, stay calm.
