AI is increasingly eating into VC fundings and here is how crypto firms are adapting
Crypto firms are increasingly integrating AI into their products, with 40% of crypto VC funding in 2025 going to AI-focused firms. The trend is driven by the growing convergence between crypto and AI, with crypto platforms moving faster than traditional finance in deploying AI systems.
Crypto companies are adapting to the growing dominance of AI in venture capital funding. In 2025, 40 cents of every VC dollar invested in crypto went to AI-focused firms, more than double the previous year. AI companies raised $242 billion in early 2026, accounting for 80% of global venture funding. Crypto platforms are shifting from AI 'co-pilots' to autonomous 'agents' that monitor conditions and execute trades automatically. This trend is driven by the need to reduce the gap between insight and execution in trading environments. The adoption of AI solutions varies across exchanges and brokers, with risk management and fraud detection being standard, while user-facing tools are less common.
