MILESTONE | South-East Asia Crypto Funding in H1 2026 More Than Double the Entire of 2025

Southeast Asia’s blockchain sector has raised $680 million in equity funding so far in 2026, more than double the $319 million raised during all of 2025, as investors increasingly concentrate capital in established crypto companies and financial services, according to Tracxn data.

The rebound, however, is being driven by fewer deals. Just 25 funding rounds have been completed in 2026, down from 46 in 2025 and far below the 206 rounds recorded in 2022.

• A $400 million Series D round for Crypto.com accounts for almost 60% of the 2026 total.

Other major deals include:

• Edena Capital’s $100 million Series D and
• Startale’s $50 million Series A.

Together, the three rounds represent about 81% of regional funding.
