Southeast Asia Crypto Funding Rebounds to $680 Million in 2026

By sector, crypto financial services drew $498 million across 19 rounds, a year-on-year increase of 48.4%. Tokenization platforms raised $114 million, and decentralized application development platforms raised $77 million.

Despite the recovery, the current total remains below the region's peak of $2.2 billion in 2022. Funding dropped to $386 million in 2023 before rising again. BitKE and Tracxn reported a 2025 total of $804 million, while a separate figure of $319 million was cited as the 2025 comparison for the year-on-year doubling, an apparent discrepancy in the source data.

The funding pipeline shows growing concentration as well. Of 3,957 blockchain companies tracked by Tracxn, 1,323 have secured equity funding, but only 167 have reached Series A or later.

CoinDesk reported that investment has been led by crypto financial services, with funding heavily concentrated in Singapore and a limited number of companies.
