Crypto venture funding took a sharp hit in April, dropping to just $659 million across 63 deals—a steep decline from March’s $2.6 billion. According to CryptoRank, this marks the lowest monthly total since mid-2024.

The pullback reflects a broader cooling in the market, with investors becoming more selective amid declining liquidity and risk appetite. Since late 2025, overall crypto market conditions have weakened significantly, contributing to a 37% drop in total market cap.

The message is clear: easy money in crypto startups is drying up, at least for now.
