G-SIBs back blockchain with 100+ deals

Global Systemically Important Banks (G-SIBs), a group of financial institutions with such significant economic weight that their failure could trigger global financial instability, accounted for 106 deals, including 14 mega-rounds valued at over $100 million each.

US and Japanese institutions led in deal volume, but Singapore, France, and the UK were also active. In total, over $100 billion was poured into blockchain startups between 2020 and 2024 across more than 10,000 deals globally.

Ripple’s survey of over 1,800 global finance leaders also found that 90% believe blockchain and digital assets will have a “significant or massive” impact on the industry within three years.

The momentum is also supported by regulatory developments, including the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins, or GENIUS Act, in the US and Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) in the EU, both of which provide a clearer framework for digital asset operations.
