Experts Predict Growth in Cryptocurrency Venture Capital for 2025 – BitRss

In 2024, cryptocurrency venture capital reached 13.7 billion dollars, marking a 28% annual increase. Despite this growth, it remains below the peaks of previous years. Leading cryptocurrency stakeholders exhibit cautious optimism for 2025, acknowledging that the high levels of 2021-2022 are unlikely to return. However, they believe projects with strong product-market fit may attract investment in 2025.

Investors Focus on DeFi and CeFi Sectors

Rob Hadick, a general partner at Dragonfly, anticipates significant growth in 2025 due to a more relaxed regulatory environment in the U.S., rising token prices, and increased institutional investments. However, he noted that returning to past highs will take some time.

Dragonfly will continue to support projects demonstrating strong product-market fit in areas such as DeFi, CeFi, and stablecoins. Emerging sectors include crypto-AI and DePINs (decentralized physical infrastructure networks), although Hadick indicated these areas are still in experimental stages.
