PANews July 20 report: According to CryptoRank, since 2025 the overall crypto VC market has still been operating at a low level. However, leading institutions such as Coinbase Ventures, Animoca Brands, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z crypto), and Tether continue to be active in deployments. Coinbase Ventures participated in about 33 deals, Animoca Brands in about 19, and a16z crypto in about 18. Overall, over the past month the total funding scale has fluctuated in the range of several hundred million to several billion USD. Early rounds account for a higher share, and capital is more concentrated on selecting early-stage projects and structural opportunities. Meanwhile, VC investment in the DeFi sector has declined for three consecutive quarters. In the current quarter, investment has fallen to the lowest level since Q4 2023. In addition, DeFi funding rounds in Q2 2026 have also hit a new low since 2020, indicating that capital is tightening its screening of DeFi projects and that the sector is entering a phase of deep competition among existing players.
