Odaily News Although the crypto market experienced a brief recovery at the end of 2024 driven by the "Trump effect", in the first quarter of 2025, the scale of financing in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) in the United States still far exceeded that of the crypto industry.
According to PitchBook data, in the first three months of 2025, venture capital in the U.S. crypto industry amounted to approximately $861 million, while the AI field attracted nearly $20 billion in investment, completing 795 transactions, including Databricks' $15.3 billion financing and Anthropic's $2 billion financing.
Data shows that venture capital has long been more inclined towards AI, with AI financing growing from $670 million in 2011 to $36 billion in 2020. Only in 2021 did crypto financing briefly surpass AI, but then AI investment quickly overtook it, with financing exceeding $100 billion in 2024. (CoinDesk)
