In January 2025, the Web3 industry maintained momentum but experienced a slowdown in funding, with 148 deals totaling $1.44 billion. Compared to December 2024, funding activity declined—deals decreased by 9.75% and total funding amount fell by 53.24%. Blockchain services and CeFi emerged as investment hotspots, while mergers and acquisitions became the primary expansion strategy for industry leaders seeking rapid market share growth. Small and medium-scale funding projects dominated the landscape, reflecting strong market interest in early-stage ventures. The Web3 industry's dynamism was further evidenced by the rapid growth of leading projects like Phantom, SoSoValue, Tea-Fi, Oshi, and Bluwhale.
