Crypto companies raised $12.86B across 271 completed transactions in Q2 2026. Venture capital returned to the top of the table, but a single borrower pushed debt financing to within $633.9M of it.
Introduction: Three Funding Channels, Not One Market
Crypto companies raised $12.86B across 271 completed transactions between April and June 2026, against $8.87B in the first quarter and $14.25B in the same quarter a year earlier.
