Crypto payment projects raised $3.1B in Q1 2026.

In March, total funding reached $2.2 billion thanks to a $1.8B investment by @Mastercard in @BVNKFinance. Notable projects that received investments in March include @KASTxyz ($80M), @arq_finance ($70M), and @utexocom ($7.5M).
Interestingly, 19 deals were closed in March, just as in January, but in January, no single investment stood out as dominant. Therefore, January remains a more active month for investments than March and February combined.
In February, 12 deals were completed, but the total amount was modest at $39M.
January proved to be more interesting, with a total of $896M. Notable deals included the acquisition of @0xsequence and @Coinme by @0xPolygon Labs for $250M. There were also investments in @raincards - $250M from ICONIQ Capital, Galaxy, Dragonfly and other funds.
The first quarter proved productive, with 50 deals and a total investment amount of $3.1B.
