Galaxy Research: Crypto VC investment reached $4.59 billion in Q3, with funds favoring later-stage companies.

 Galaxy Research released a research report pointing out that cryptocurrency venture capital activity increased to $4.59 billion in the third quarter of 2025, marking the second highest level since the third quarter of 2022. The number of transactions remained stable quarter-on-quarter.

Notably, although the investment amount increased, it was also relatively concentrated, with 7 transactions accounting for half of the total investment amount. In addition, nearly 60% of the investment funds flowed to late-stage companies, which is the second highest level since the first quarter of 2021. The only higher quarter in more than 4 years was the first quarter of 2025, but the figures for that quarter were largely due to MGX's $2 billion investment in Binance. A clear decline in investor interest can be seen from the venture capital fundraising data. In the third quarter of 2025, 16 new funds raised a total of $3.16 billion, but this was mainly driven by two large exchange-affiliated venture capital funds.

  • Senate Banking Committee Chair: CLARITY Act Fails to Advance Due to Democratic Opposition, SEC and CFTC Should Establish Digital Asset Rules

    On September 16, Tim Scott, Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, stated that today, nearly all Senate Republican members voted in favor of advancing the CLARITY Act, but the motion ultimately failed to secure enough votes due to opposition from Senate Democrats. We have taken a step forward. Now, before Congress completes legislation, it is up to the SEC and CFTC to establish clear regulatory rules for digital assets. I remain focused on single mothers and Americans living in poverty, as I grew up in similar circumstances. I will continue to work to protect their hard-earned money and ensure the future of the financial industry remains in the United States.

  • Galaxy CEO: CLARITY Act Fails Due to Bipartisan Ethical Disagreements, SEC and CFTC to Continue Regulatory Efforts

    On September 16, Galaxy CEO Mike Novogratz stated, "The government seems to be paralyzed. Our industry has worked with both Democrats and Republicans for 18 months, yet the CLARITY Act has faltered just five yards from the finish line. All disputes, except for one issue, were resolved through hard negotiations. That issue is ethics. Both sides have held firm to their positions on ethics, ultimately deeming their stance more important than the long-term interests of a significant industry and the opportunity for the U.S. to lead in this sector. Republicans are concerned about imposing real restrictions on the President's ability to profit from digital assets; Democrats have decided to use this industry as a battleground in their fight against corruption. They worry about any actions that could be interpreted as showing a "soft stance" towards the President. Previously, there was a bipartisan proposal that could have resolved this issue, but it ultimately got caught up in political maneuvering. I am very disappointed that neither side was able to find a way across this divide. I know that with only seven weeks until the election, this has largely driven both parties' actions. However, what is truly perplexing is that I do not believe cryptocurrency and this bill will be among the top ten issues in this election. In 2024, yes, but this year's focus will be on war, inflation, cost of living, artificial intelligence, immigration, and which party can provide better solutions to these issues. Nonetheless, I still believe that the SEC and CFTC will continue to advance the development of regulatory rules for digital assets. I hope that over time, Congress will eventually find a way to formally legislate these rules, allowing market participants to build longer-term confidence in how digital assets will be regulated in the U.S. Perhaps Mitch McConnell returning to Congress in a wheelchair after a 90-day break is itself a rather ironic signal, further highlighting the predicament Congress is currently in. Tomorrow we continue to work. We keep building.
