In an interview with CNBC, PitchBook co-founder Robert Le predicted that 2025 is going to be stronger, and hit $18 billion.
His prediction is based on an overall positive crypto outlook with a more favorable regulatory and macroeconomic environment.
Despite the expected growth, Le says the numbers will likely still be lower than from the 2021-2022 timeline when crypto companies received around $30 billion.
According to Robert Le, the industry will receive funding from generalist investors next to crypto-native VCs, which will be a major driver.
Looking back at 2024, Le mentioned that the first quarter of the year was strong in terms of funding given the approval of Bitcoin ETFs in the US, however, funding slowed down throughout the year.
At any rate, the year was strong, especially taking into account 2023’s retreat caused by the FTX collapse in 2022 and bearish sentiments.
Robert Le predicts investors' focus will be on the crypto applications layer, including solutions to onboard non-crypto users into the space or non-crypto use cases, like energy or mobile phone infrastructure.
Besides the PitchBook co-founder, other executives also shared positive predictions on crypto VC funding. Galaxy Ventures general Partner Mike Giampapa told DLnews he predicts banks will be more open to engaging with crypto and there will be progress in stablecoins legislations.
Meanwhile, according to The Block, Coinbase Ventures Head Hoolie Tejwani stated the company would invest broadly across the onchain economy.
