The final week of 2025 wrapped up with strong momentum in crypto funding, as projects raised a total of $316.2 million between December 21 and 27. Even as the year came to a close, investors were still writing big checks, especially for finance and trading infrastructure.
The biggest headline came from HashKey Group, which completely dominated the week. The company raised a massive $250 million in a late-year funding round. With this raise, HashKey’s total funding now stands at $380 million, making it the clear standout as 2025 ended.
Most of the money this week flowed into platforms focused on finance, trading, and core infrastructure, showing where investor confidence still sits as the market moves into 2026.
Another notable raise came from Architect, a fintech company building high-speed, low-latency trading infrastructure. Architect secured $35 million in a Series A round backed by Miax, HGSA Capital, and Galaxy. The company also added seven new investors and has now raised $52 million in total.
Octra followed with a $20 million raise through a public sale, bringing its total funding to $26 million so far.
Several smaller projects also closed funding rounds under $5 million. Coinbax raised $4.2 million in a seed round, while easy.fun and Otomato each secured $2 million. HodlHer brought in $1.5 million through a strategic round, and Rocket raised $1.5 million at the pre-seed stage.
Overall, the last funding week of 2025 showed that even during the holidays, capital continues to flow into crypto—especially into platforms building the financial rails of the next market cycle.
