Crypto Venture Funding Crashes to $659 Million, Lowest Since 2024

What happened: Venture capital investment in crypto projects plummeted to $659 million in April 2026, marking the lowest monthly total since July 2024. The sharp decline reflects a broader slowdown in dealmaking across the digital asset sector.
