PANews reported on April 15th, citing Cointelegraph, that the CV VC annual report shows that Switzerland's Crypto Valley raised $728 million in 31 deals by 2025, a 37% year-on-year increase, accounting for 47% of total European blockchain venture capital. The report states that global blockchain venture capital grew by 30% to $15.5 billion, with 986 deals. One deal played a key role: The Open Network led the pack with a $400 million funding round, followed by Sygnum Bank ($58 million), M0 ($40 million), Impossible Cloud Network ($34 million), and CratD2C ($30 million). Blockchain networks attracted 62% of the funding, infrastructure accounted for 14%, and centralized financial services and DeFi applications each accounted for 10%.

Crypto Valley currently boasts 1,766 active blockchain companies, a 134% increase since 2020. Despite the growth in funding, the valuation of Crypto Valley's top 50 companies has fallen to $467 billion, and the number of unicorns has dropped from 17 to 10. This is mainly due to the weak market at the end of the year, which caused the valuations of six token projects to fall below the $1 billion threshold, and the departure of 21Shares from the ecosystem after its acquisition by FalconX.
