Wu Blockchain has learned, according to DefiLlama data, that in January 2026, the total VC funding in the crypto sector reached approximately $1.4 billion, a year-on-year increase of about 14%. Although the number of funding events dropped from 85 in the same period last year to 60, the average deal size significantly increased, indicating that capital is concentrating on fewer but larger projects. In terms of focus, institutional-grade infrastructure has become the most favored track, with stablecoins, payments, custody, and trading infrastructure attracting substantial funding. Traditional financial institutions like BNY Mellon, Fidelity, Citadel Securities, and Bain Capital have notably ramped up their investments, while Frontier VC and crypto-native funds are also actively participating. Influenced by the gradually clarifying U.S. regulatory environment, investment priorities are clearly shifting toward U.S.-based projects. https://www.(wublock123.com)/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=6&id=55954
